Abstract

The analytical expressions that describe the transformation of an arbitrarily polarized optical radiation in periodic magneto-optical structures are derived. It is established that the magnetic-field-induced splitting into two components of the frequency ranges of the resonance interaction of light with a magnetoactive structure corresponding to circularly polarized eigenwaves provides considerable enhancement of the rotation of the polarization plane of the reflected radiation. The expedience of using a dielectric mirror located behind the magnetoactive structure is shown. Such a mirror allows one not only to preserve the considerable enhancement of the rotation but also provides the total reflection of light.
