Abstract
A sensitive polarization modulation technique uses photoelastic modulation and heterodyne detection to simultaneously measure the Faraday rotation and induced ellipticity in light transmitted by semiconducting and metallic samples. The frequencies measured are in the midinfrared and correspond to the spectral lines of a CO2 laser. The measured temperature range is continuous and extends from 35 to 330 K. Measured samples include GaAs and Si substrates, gold and copper films, and YBCO and BSCCO high temperature superconductors.
