TGG

 Description:

The magneto-optical crystal TGG crystal is an optimum material for Faraday devices (Rotator and Isolator) in the wavelength range 400 nm-1100 nm, excluding 470-500 nm. TGG crystal has a combination of excellent properties such as large Verdet constant, low light loss, high thermal conductance and high light damage threshold which makes it a unique material for Faraday devices.
 
Features:
l  Large Verdet Constant (35 Rad T-1m-1);
l  Low optical losses (<0.1%/cm);
l  High thermal conductivity (7.4W m-1K-1);
l  High laser damage threshold (>1GW/cm2).
 
Applications:
l  Faraday Rotator;
l  Optical Isolator.
