The invention concerns to area of magneto-optics, nonlinear-optics, fiber optics. The invention allow to amplify Faraday effect drastically and obtain a high level of modulation of optical radiation at very small amplitudes of modulating variable current. So it provides a very high speed of modulation of optical radiation. It also gets an opportunity of reading the information with higher density of record. The modulator on the basis of magneto-optical Faraday effect contains optically connected: optical element made from magneto-optical material with means creating a variable magnetic field in it, a nonlinear-optical waveguide and a separator of waves having orthogonal polarizations. The possibility for rejection of atmosphere fluctuation and jamming is provided. The nonlinear-optical waveguide can be made on the basis MQW-type structure. Input/output elements, taking into account the asymmetry of cross-section of the nonlinearoptical waveguide are mounted at its input and output, as the compact nonlinear-optic module. The small current is passed across said nonlinear-optical waveguide increasing gain in modulation drastically, and decreasing pump optical power in a high degree. The device contains also Peltier element and temperature sensor which help to obtain low predetermined critical power of optical radiation necessary for obtaining large modulation gain. The modulator on the basis of magneto-optical Kerr phenomenon contains an optical element reflecting optical radiation with sites of various magnetization.
