The crystal has strong magneto-optical effect in visible-near infrared regions, and the Verdet constant is about 20-30% higher than commercial TGG crystals. Orientation, cutting, rough grinding, polishing and film coating can be carried out on the crystal according to requirements to obtain various magneto-optical devices, the crystal can be widely applied in various magneto-optical fields, and has significant economic and social benefits.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of artificial crystals and crystal growth in the technical field of optoelectronic functional materials, and specifically relates to a scandium-doped terbium aluminum garnet magneto-optical crystal and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] In optical communication and precision optical measurement technology, in order to ensure the frequency stability of the light source and avoid the influence of reflected light, a non-reciprocal optical control device-optical isolator must be used. At the heart of these devices is a rare-earth garnet-type crystal that acts as a Faraday rotator. This kind of material has small optical absorption loss and large Faraday rotation in the visible and near-infrared bands, so its magneto-optical figure of merit can reach a high value. [0003] Commercial garnet-type Tb 3 Ga 5 o 12 (TGG) melt is a molten compound with the same composition, but the melt has a large w...
