Magnetoopic

Course aims

Basic aspects: Physical principles of magneto-optical effects (reflection, transmission, and emission magneto – optical effects, classical oscillator model, semi-classical model, linear and quadratic elements of permittivity tensor, matrix algebra, nonlinear magneto-optics, second harmonic generation). Experimental set-up (method with around polarizations, differential method, modulation metods).
