K. Hisatake et al., PHOTOINDUCED EFFECT ON OPTICAL-ABSORPTION COEFFICIENT IN YTTRIUM-IRON-GARNET, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 140, 1995, pp. 2127-2128
Photo-induced irreversible change in an optical absorption was observe
d for a bulk single crystal and a thin film of yttrium-iron garnets (Y
IG) over the spectral range 700-2000 nm and over the temperature range
79-200 K. We explain the observation as a redistribution of oscillato
r strength associated with structural change by an irradiation at low
temperatures.
