Abstract
Heteroepitaxial all-garnet magneto-optical photonic crystal (MOPC) was fabricated to enhance Faraday rotation at 980nm. MOPC was composed of alternating MO-active Bi3Fe5O12 and transparent Sm3Ga5O12 quarter-wavelength layers grown by rf-magnetron sputtering on Ca,Mg,Zr:Gd3Ga5O12(111) single crystal substrate. High MO performance at the resonance wavelength λ=980nm, specific Faraday rotation θF=−7.3°∕μm, absorption coefficient α=3350cm−1, and MO figure of merit Q=2∣θF∣∕α=43.6° demonstrates feasibility to use bismuth iron garnet MOPCs for application in pump laser diodes, optical amplifiers, modulators, and sensors.
