Abstract
The dependence of thermally induced depolarization on crystallographic axis orientation in crystal materials with negative optical anisotropy parameter in the presence of Faraday rotation has been analyzed. The orientation at which thermally induced depolarization is minimal has been found. The contributions to thermally induced depolarization of linear birefringence caused by photoelastic effect, of the temperature dependence of Verdet constant, and of the temperature dependence of optical anisotropy parameter are assessed. Three magneto-optical materials with negative optical anisotropy parameter have been compared with a currently widely used TGG crystal from the viewpoint of their prospective application in Faraday devices for powerful laser radiation. It has been demonstrated that these magneto-optical materials are undoubtedly superior to a TGG crystal.
