Abstract
We present significant enhancement of magneto-optical effect at room temper ature in GaAs with MnAs magnetic nanoclusters sandwiched by GaAs/AlAs multi layers acting as distributed Bragg reflectors. The experimentally observed transmissivity and magneto-optical spectra are well explained by theoretica l calculations. This new material system will open up the possibility of re alizing nonreciprocal magneto-optical devices integrated with semiconductor optoelectronic devices and circuits.
