Abstract
Faraday Rotation (FR) measurements performed on single crystal Ytterbium Iron Garnet (YbIG) at 1.15 micron wavelength are presented in a magnetic field up to 20 kOe in the 6-580 K temperature range where the ferrite presents a spontaneous magnetization. The ytterbium contribution to FR is determined and briefly discussed.
