Oa. Aktsipetrov et al., MAGNETIC-FIELD-INDUCED EFFECTS IN OPTICAL 2ND-HARMONIC GENERATION FROM IRON-GARNET FILMS, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 165(1-3), 1997, pp. 421-423
The magnetic field induced effects in the second harmonic generation (
SHG) from epitaxially grown iron-garnet films have been studied. The m
agnetic field induced Variations in the azimuthal angular dependences
and the polarization diagrams of the SHG intensity are shown to be due
to the linear Faraday effect. Enhancements in the SHG intensity were
detected for (Bi,Gd,Fu)(3)(Fe,Ga)(5)O-12 iron-garnet films grown on (G
d,Ca)(3)(Mg,Zr,Ga)(5)O-12 single-crystal substrates with various orien
tations. This dependence of the SHG intensity on the magnetic field ma
y be caused by magnetostriction effects.
