Abstract
We describe a new method of measuring hysteresis loops from local area s of the surface of a ferromagnet, based on the employment in a magnet o-optical micromagnetometer of new linear magneto-optical effects in r eflected light: the meridional and polar intensity magneto-optical eff ects. High-sensitivity measurements of magnetization curves are achiev ed using the modulation of the plane of light polarization.
