Abstract EN
This paper expounds on the optimization of magnetooptic devices using preferential domains that switch at low field strengths.
In particular, an all-optical switch for transparent networks based on the Mach-Zehnder interferometer configuration is examined in detail.
The switch utilizes bismuth-substituted iron garnets with a specific composition of (Bi1.1Tb1.9)(Fe4.25Ga0.75)O12 as Faraday rotators.
It is proposed that switch figures of merit can be improved by preferentially choosing domains which align with applied fields at field strengths much lower than required by the bulk material.
Measurement of magnetic domain orientation in the material and Faraday rotation within domains is reported.
The domain behavior in low magnetic fields is also investigated to achieve a switch with lower switching times and higher extinction ratios.
