Abstract
In the first demonstration of the Faraday effect in an optical-grade Tb2Hf2O7 (THO) ceramic, its optical properties and the Verdet constant's wavelength dependence were evaluated at room temperature. The transmittance loss of this material was equally low as for the terbium gallium garnet, a well-known magneto-optic material. The Verdet constant at 1064 nm was 50.4 rad/Tm, which was 1.4 times greater than that of the terbium gallium garnet. THO ceramics show great potential for use in Faraday devices in near-infrared laser applications.
