Abstract

As an important component in magneto-optical devices, bismuth-substituted rare-earth iron garnet films play a significant role in guarantying a unidirectional light propagation in optical communication system. In this study, (GdYbBi)3(FeGe)5O12 film with a thickness of 120 μm was successfully grown by liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) technology. Lattice mismatch and internal stress between the epitaxial film and substrates were discussed in detail. Tested results shown that (GdYbBi)3(FeGe)5O12 films exhibit high crystal quality and large specific faraday rotation angle, which indicate that the prepared (GdYbBi)3(FeGe)5O12 films have a great potential to be used in optical communication system.
