Abstract
Magneto-optic modulators for near-infra-red radiation (wavelength 1.1 to 5.5 μm) are described. These modulators use the Faraday effect in single crystals of yttrium iron garnet. The modulators operate with low driving voltages and are well suited to transistor drive. The application of yttrium iron garnet as a laser Q-switch is also discussed.Keywords
