Abstract
We prepared the reflection type magnetophotonic crystals (R-MPC) to enhance the magneto-optic property of magneto-optic spatial light phase modulator (MOSLM). Magnetophotonic crystals have a localized wavelength by using a defect layer in which the magneto-optic property can be increased tremendously. By the calculation, it was revealed clearly that Kerr rotation can be enhanced with increasing the repetition number (k) which is the number of dielectric layer. In this study, Dy1.0Bi1.5Y1.0Fe3.8Al1.2O12 (DyBi:YIG) garnet material, of which Faraday rotation angle is about −3 deg/μm, was utilized as a defect layer. At the designed wavelength of 532 nm and k=5, SGGG/[SiO2/Ta2O5]2/DyBi:YIG/[SiO2/Ta2O5]k structure fabricated with garnet thickness of 347.6 nm showed Kerr rotation angle of 26° and reflectivity of 0.2% which is coincident considerably with the results (θk=30° and R=0.59%) calculated by the matrix approach method. The fabricated R-MPC-MOSLM structure exhibited the magneto-optic property of about 25 times higher than single garnet film in consideration of the thickness of magneto-optic material.
