Materials, devices and methods related to below-resonance radio-frequency (RF) circulators and isolators. In some embodiments, a circulator can include a conductor having a plurality of signal ports, and one or more magnets configured to provide a magnetic field. The circulator can further include one or more ferrite disks implemented relative to the conductor and the one or more magnets so that an RF signal can be routed selectively among the signal ports due to the magnetic field. Each of the one or more ferrite disks can include synthetic garnet material having dodecahedral sites, octahedral sites and tetrahedral sites, with bismuth (Bi) occupying at least some of the dodecahedral sites, and aluminum (Al) occupying at least some of the tetrahedral sites. Such synthetic garnet material can be represented by a formula Y 3-x-2y-z Bi x Ca 2y+z Fe 5-y-z-a V y Zr z Al a O 12 . In some embodiments, x ≤ 1.4, y ≤ 0.7, z ≤ 0.7, and a ≤ 0.75.

摘要:
This invention provides a magnetic optical member that can obtain a large magneto-optical effect using a rare-earth- iron-garnet-based material and a method of producing the same. According to the present invention, a BiYIG thin film (207) is formed on a (SiO 2 /Ta 2 O 5 ) n layer (210), and heat-treatment for crystallization of the BiYIG thin film (207) is carried out with infrared rays while cooling a non-heat-resisting substrate (203) and the (SiO 2 /Ta 2 0 5 ) n layer (210) through a substrate holder (201). Since the non-heat-resisting substrate (203) is cooled and the deformation thereof is prevented, heat treatment to crystallize the BiYIG thin film (207) can be carried out. By the crystallization of the BiYIG thin film (207) a large magneto-optical effect can be obtained. The non-heat-resisting substrate (203) is cooled, and can be made of a thermoplastic resin or can be formed in a tape shape, film shape or sheet shape. Thus, easy handling of the substrate and downsizing can be realized. Further, it is not necessary to make the substrate of glass, making it easy to form a groove. By the cooling of the (SiO 2 /Ta 2 O 5 ) n layer (210) the interdiffusion of Ta 2 O 5 and SiO 2 is prevented and heat treatment for crystallization can be performed.
摘要:
There is provided a Faraday rotation angle varying device in which external magnetic fields are applied from at lease two directions to a garnet single crystal having a Faraday effect and vary a synthesized magnetic field so that Faraday rotation angle of light which transmits through the garnet single crystal is controlled. The device has a base film of garnet single crystal having a rotation angle varied in accordance with variation of a synthesized magnetic field, and a compensating film of a garnet single crystal having a constant Faraday rotation angle. The base film has a wavelength coefficient sign and the compensating film has a wavelength coefficient sign which is different from that of the base film, so that a wavelength variation component of the Faraday rotation angle of the base film is reduced by the compensating film. For example, a fixed magnetic field parallel to a light direction is applied by permanent magnets 40, 42 and a variable magnetic field is applied by an electromagnet.

Garnet material according to a particular embodiment of the invention exhibits a substantially rectangular magnetization loop, with | H S | > | 4πM S | Oe and | 4πM s | S is the switching magnetic field of the loop, and 4πM S is the saturation magnetization. The material exhibits improved latching behavior. In a further embodiment of the invention the composition of the garnet material is selected such that the material exhibits hard latching behavior (| H S | ≥ 500 Oe) at least at room temperature. Garnet materials according to the invention can advantageously be used in magneto-optic isolators and other magneto-optic devices. For instance, the material enables manufacture of isolators that do not contain a bias magnet. Garnet materials according to the invention generally contain at most relatively small amounts of Gd, Tb and Dy (less than 1.0, 2.1 and 2.5 atoms per formula unit, respectively; with Gd + (Tb/2.1) + (Dy/2.5) 0.75 Eu 1.5 Ho 0.75 Fe 4.1 Ga 0.9 O 12 .

摘要:
A bistable single crystal magneto-optic film of preselected coercivity is described. The film is readily switchable and is characterized by a substantially square shaped hysteresis loop. The film properties are attributed to controlled introduction in the film of defects of predetermined size and distribution. Defects of from about 0.4 mu m to about 4.0 mu m present in numbers per cm2 of from about 10 to about 106, with optimal distribution falling in the range of from about 100 to about 1000, are described. Also described are methods of achieving the required defect size and distribution utilizing procedures such as ion bombardment, particle abrasion/deposition, laser ablation or annealing of the film or substrate upon which the film is supported. Devices in which the films can be used to advantage, such as flaw detecting, imaging and microwave processing, are described.
