Magneto Optical

Introduction

 

Terbium Scandium Aluminum Garnet (Tb3Sc2Al3O12, TSAG) is the key isolator material for next generation fiber laser. As an ideal magneto-optic crystal in visible and infrared regions, TSAG has the advantages of high Verdet constant, excellent thermal and mechanical properties.

 

CASTECH's magneto-optical crystal TSAG  is featured by

  • Large Verdet constant (48 radT-1m-1 at 1064 nm),about 20~30% higher than that of TGG
  • Low absorption (< 3000 ppm/cm at 1064 nm), about 30% less than that of TGG
  • High power compliant
  • Low thermally-induced birefringence
  • Ideal for compact magneto-optic devices

 

Main Applications

  • Faraday Rotator
  • Optical Isolator
