Abstract

This paper reports on the crystal quality and magneto-optical properties of 300 μm thick bismuth-substituted garnet film grown on a 2-inch diameter Nd <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> Ga <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">5</sub> O <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">12</sub> substrate.

A correspondence of almost 1 to 1 was found between the positions of the substrate pit section and the film swirl section. Measurements of the extinction ratio showed that a uniform distribution was maintained within the specimen. Extinction ratio deterioration was found at the front of the swirls caused by the substrate pits, but no clear variation was found behind that (in the tails trailing from the pits).
