AbstractAlthough discovered over 150 years ago, it was not until the 1970's that materials were developed that enabled magneto-optic (Faraday) effect devices of practical sizes. These developments are: magneto-optic materials with high Verdet constants, and the rare-earth magnet materials, capable of extremely high magnetic fields.The magneto-optic effect has enabled development of equipment used in diverse laser applications, from industrial use to fiber-optic telecommunications.The principle of operation of optical isolators and circulators is described herein, as well as descriptions of critical components in such equipment, such as the polarizers and the magnets.

ABSTRACTRare-Earth Transition-Metal alloys such as Tb-Fe-Co are being studied and used as magneto-optic data storage materials. These materials are susceptible to oxidation by either oxygen or water vapor, particularly the rare earth component. Pitting corrosion is also a problem when protective overlayers have pinholes or a porous microstructure. Both degradation mechanisms are significant for application of this material to optical data storage. We have used ion assisted deposition (IAD) to produce protective overlayers of refractory oxides, such as Al2O2 and ZrO2. These layers were deposited both with and without IAD onto iron films and exposed to environments with controlled temperature and humidity. A scanning micro-reflectometer capable of detecting micrometer-sized pinholes was used to monitor the degradation of the iron layer with exposure time.
