Abstract
Observation of the non-resonant Specular inverse Faraday Effect (SIFE) in Cd0.6Mn0.4Te is reported. With picosecond circularly polarised pum p and linearly polarised probe pulses at 532nm the pump-induced rotati on of the reflected probe polarization plane was found to be approxima tely one order of magnitude stronger than in GaAs and reaches 3.5 10(- 2) deg with a pump intensity of 5 MW cm-2.
