Introduction: TGG is an excellent magneto-optical crystal used in various Faraday devices(Rotator and Isolator) in the range of 400nm-1100nm, excluding 475-500nm.
Main Advantage:
Large Verdet Constant (35 Rad T-1m-1).
Low optical losses (<0.1%/cm)
High thermal conductivity (7.4W m-1K-1).
High laser damage threshold (>1GW/cm2).
Main Application:Faraday Rotator, Optical Isolator etc..
