Entanglement and hall viscosity
… reviewing geometric response in the quantum Hall effect in comparison to its well-known electromagnetic response, Hall conductivity. We develop an understanding of momentum transport due to Hall viscosity in analogy to charge transport under Hall conductivity. We apply our momentum transport …

Optical sensors for the location of buried optical cables and disturbances acting on extended lengths of optical fibre
… the light guided by the optical fibre, via the Faraday effect. The lateral position of the buried cable can then be inferred by observing the peak in the amplitude of modulation as the locator is traversed across the buried position of the fibre allowing, for the first time, …

DEVELOPMENT OF MAGNETO-OPTIC SENSORS WITH GALLIUM IN BISMUTH DOPED RARE-EARTH IRON-GARNET THICK FILMS
We have investigated the Faraday effect of bismuth-doped rare-earth iron-garnets with varying doping levels of gallium from z = 1.0 to 1.35. We used lutetium to control the film's in-plane magnetic properties and found that gallium doping levels above the compensation point caused a loss of …

Coherent excitation of ultracold atoms between ground and Rydberg states
… into individual components using a novel Faraday filtering technique. The frequency dependent Faraday effect in an isotopically pure thermal vapour is exploited to rotate the plane of polarisation of each Raman component such that they may be separated using a polarising beam splitter. The …

Magnetophotonic sensor systems for fibre-optic magnetic diagnostics in tokamak fusion reactors
… By exploiting the nonreciprocality of the Faraday effect, it is shown how fibre Bragg gratings incorporating structural defects can yield enhanced, localised measurements. An alternative scheme enables direct measurement of the magnetic circular birefringence using polarisation mode …

Investigation of Electronic Molecular Materials with Magneto-Optical and Magnetic Properties
… the magneto-optical phenomenon known as Faraday rotation and its manifestation in organic materials. Current frontiers in performance, applications, and mechanistic underpinnings of the Faraday effect in organic-chromophore thin films are discussed. In Chapter 2, we evaluate the Faraday …

A polarization sensitive interferometer for Faraday rotation detection
Time-resolved Faraday rotation (TRFR) is a pulsed laser pump/probe optical measurement used to characterize electron spin dynamics in semiconductor materials. A Mach-Zehnder type interferometer with orthogonally polarized arms is presented as a device for TRFR measurement that is superior to …
