Abstract
Magneto-optical imaging has become a powerful technique for the measurement of local magnetic fields. The technique consists in measuring the rotation in the light polarization plane when light travels through a transparent sensitive garnet (Ytrium Iron Garnet, YIG). The rotation angle is a function of the magnetic field at the YIG location. We have studied commercial audio tapes in which computer generated functions were recorded. We present a study of the stray field of periodically magnetized tapes with square and sawtooth waveforms. Observations are described modeling the magnetized tapes as an array of coaxial circular coils where the current in each coil reproduces the recorded functions. The effect of the magnetic field components, normal and parallel to the YIG surface, is discussed.
