    摘要: The invention relates to an optical device for polarizing light by changing its Faraday rotation angle, such as optical attenuators, optical switches or polarization controllers; and its object is to provide such an optical device which can be driven even by small-sized and power-saving magnetic circuits and in which the insertion loss in the Faraday rotator may be reduced. The optical device comprises a Faraday rotator formed of a garnet single crystal, and a magnetic circuit applying an external magnetic field H that is smaller than the saturation magnetic field Hs of the Faraday rotator to the Faraday rotator.

    摘要: The invention relates to a Bi-substituted rare earth-iron garnet single-crystal film and a method for producing it, and also to a Faraday rotator comprising it. Its object is to provide a magnetic garnet single-crystal film which hardly cracks while it grows or is cooled or polished and worked, and to provide a method for producing it. Its object is also to provide a Faraday rotator produced at high yield by working the magnetic garnet single-crystal film which hardly cracks while it grows or is cooled or polished and worked. In a method for producing a magnetic garnet single-crystal film by growing a Bi-substituted magnetic garnet single crystal in a mode of liquid-phase epitaxial growth, the lattice constant of the growing magnetic garnet single crystal is so controlled that it does not vary or gradually decreases with the growth of the single-crystal film, and then increases with it.
