摘要
Magneto-optics is described in a unique framework. Reflection and transmission of a general multilayer system is expressed by means of medium boundary and propagation matrices which are universal and apply to any configuration of films and media. The results for the magneto-optic coefficients are cast in the form of sets of four linear, inhomogeneous equations. It is shown that in the thin-film limit, the Kerr effect obeys an additivity law for a system consisting of any number of magnetic films. Computer simulations were performed on different film-configurations, including an overlayer, a sandwich and a superlattice. © 1990.
