Abstract
The implementation of a phase-modulating polarization detector into a scanning near-field optical microscope allows the imaging of local mag neto-optic effects with spatial resolution. By taking several pictures at the same location with different detector settings, a quantitative evaluation of magneto-optic effects, such as Faraday rotation, become s possible. Images were taken from thin garnet films using this method . (C) 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
