Magneto-optics is the use of magnetic fields to influence light propagation. This usually involves changing the physical properties of the medium through which the light is travelling. An example ...

Introduced in 1985, magneto-optic (MO) media and drives are no longer manufactured. Refurbished drives and media are available from MaxOptix.com. A laser heats the optical bit to the Curie point ...

Materials are known to interact with electromagnetic fields in different ways, which reflect their structures and underlying ...

Research in integrated photonics centers on the use of magneto-optic and electro-optic materials; focused on the development and fabrication of magnetic photonic crystals. Michigan Tech researchers ...

By miniaturizing cold atom trapping with integrated photonics, researchers are making quantum technologies portable. Their ...

Research in integrated photonics centers on the use of magneto-optic and electro-optic materials. Recent work has focused on the development and fabrication of magnetic photonic crystals. A second ...

These optical systems are combined with magnetic coils and atoms in a vacuum to create cold atoms using the ubiquitous 3-dimensional magneto-optical trap (3D-MOT). The challenge that researchers face ...
