FIELD: electro-optics. ^ SUBSTANCE: magneto-optical element provided plane of polarization rotator based on Faraday-effect is made o f single single-axis crystal. Rotator has domains of both orientations in all its stable state without applied external magnetical field. Limits of domains for switching to any other stable state are disposed to move when external magnetic field is applied without forming additional domains. ^ EFFECT: reduced time for switching domains; reduced sizes of switching elements. ^ 13 cl, 4 dwg |
