One-dimensional topological photonic crystals (TPCs) with graphene sheet have been proposed to enhance the Faraday rotation (FR). Because of the strong localized field of the topological interface state, the enhanced FR angle with high transmittance has been confirmed. The effects of external magnetic field, unit cell number and multiple interface states of multilayers on FR angle and transmittance are studied. As a result, the FR is raised, which shows a field enhancement constraint at the interface between the TPCs with graphene. The FR angle can reach 16.2° with the high transmission (70%). By constructing multiple interface states, multiple transmission peaks and FR angles are further achieved. Our result would give a fresh idea, which could be applied in nonreciprocal photonic device or optical communication systems.

Magneto-optical magnetic field/current sensors are based on the Faraday effect, which involves changing the polarized state of light. Polarimetric methods are therefore used for measuring polarization characteristics. Channeled polarimetry allows polarization information to be obtained from the analysis of the spectral domain.

Rigid, conjugated molecules are excellent candidates as molecular wires since they can achieve full extension between electrodes while maintaining conjugation. Molecular design can be used to minimize the accessible pi surface and interactions between the bridging wire and the electrode. Polyynes are archetypal molecular wires that feature a rigid molecular framework with a cross-section of a single carbon atom.

A fiber-coupled magneto-optical variable optical attenuator (MVOA) operates over the near IR with an attenuation tuning range of Δ > 30 dB, a resolution of Δ ∼ 0.02 dB, a response time of < 2 ms, and a temperature dependence over = 25-70°C of Δ / Δ = -8 × 10 dB/°C.

The specific experimental arrangement that includes a Faraday rotator enables laser oscillation on left-circular or right-circular polarization, by adjusting the cavity losses. We show the simultaneous oscillation of both polarizations never occurs, proving that the Lamb coupling constant is very close to 1 in this VCSEL device, a situation that is ideal for spintronic applications.

In this work, a magneto-optical transparent PrZrO ceramic with pyrochlore structure was successfully fabricated by vacuum sintering plus hydrogen reduction for the first time to our knowledge. The two- and three-dimensional images observed on the laser scanning confocal microscopy reveal that the grain-boundary dent depth of the polished PrZrO ceramic is only ∼1.
