Faraday Isolators Terbium Gallium Garnet TGG Crystal
Faraday Isolators Terbium Gallium Garnet TGG Crystal
Terbium Gallium Garnet (TGG) Crystal Used For Faraday Isolators and Rotators
Terbium gallium garnet (Tb3Ga5O12, TGG) is a crucial category of magneto-optical materials for use in the visible and the near-infrared spectral regions((400-470nm and 500-1500nm)). The TGG crystal possesses a large Verdet constant (35 RadT−1m−1 at 1064 nm), high thermal conductivity (7.4 Wm−1K−1), low optical losses (< 0.1%/cm) and high laser damage threshold (> 1 GW/cm2). Therefore, it is an attractive Faraday-rotating crystal suitable for constructing magneto-optical isolators, magneto-optical switches, magneto-optical modulators and so on,widely used in YAG, Ti-doped sapphire and other multi-stage amplification, ring type, seed injection laser
