Summary
The course includes basic principles of linear and quadratic magneto-optic
effects, description of magneto-optic tensors, modeling of magneto-optic
effects in reflection and transmission from multilayer structures, magneto-
optics of periodic structures and photonic crystals, and non-linear magneto-
optics. Interest is focused on applications in magneto-optic recording,
application of magneto-optical vector magnetometry in magnetism, Kerr
microscopy for observation of magnetic domains, magneto-optic sensors of
magnetic field and electric current, and magneto-optic isolators for
telecommunications.
