Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage is: at high temperature, due to the volatility of its components, it is difficult for TGG crystals to grow high-quality crystals
However, it is a non-identical melt when it is melted, and it cannot be grown by the pulling method. It is still difficult to obtain massive high-quality crystals.
[0005] BYZGR 4 The application of the crystal as a magneto-optic crystal has been reported, and its applicable wavelength is 500-1500nm. The Faraday rotation angle of the crystal at 1064nm is 1.45 times that of the TGG crystal, but the extinction ratio is 28.7dB, which is smaller than that of the TGG crystal (≥30dB). Affected the use of crystals

Abstract

The invention relates to a magneto-optic crystal doped with terbium vanadate, a production method and application thereof. The molecular formula of the magneto-optic crystal doped with terbium vanadate is CaxMyTb1‑x‑yVO4, wherein M is a rare earth element and an alkali metal element , 0.01≤x≤0.5, 0≤y≤0.5. The Faraday rotation angle of this series of crystals at 1064nm is 1.3‑1.5 times that of TGG crystals. The crystals are melted with the same composition and can be grown by pulling method. It is easy to grow large-sized crystals. The cost of raw materials is low, which can effectively reduce the cost of magneto-optical crystals. . The magneto-optic crystal device made of the magneto-optic crystal has a large Verdet constant when making a magneto-optic isolator, which can reduce the requirement for the length of the magneto-optic crystal. Compared with the existing technology, the device design is more compact , reduce the number of magneto-optical crystals used in the isolator, and reduce costs. The invention can also be used in the manufacture of optical switches.
