摘要
The magneto-optical (MO) Faraday effect of one-dimensional photonic crystals (1D-PCs) composed of Bi-substituted yttrium-iron-garnet films and dielectric films such as SiO2 and TiO2 films were studied theoretically. Because of considerable localization of light, these media exhibit a very large MO effect. For instance, when the film structure is chosen to be appropriate for supporting the localization of light, the 1D-PC films can possess a huge Faraday rotation angle reaching to - 28 deg/mu m at lambda = 1.15 mu m. The analysis reveals that the MO characteristics of the 1D-PC films are almost governed by the degree of localization of light, which can be controlled by varying the number of reflection layers in the films.
