Abstract

High optical quality LiREF₄ (RE = Tb³⁺, Dy ³⁺, Ho³⁺, Er³⁺ and Yb³⁺), PrF ₃ and CeF₃ single crystals have been grown by the Czochralski technique. Their magneto-optical properties have been measured and analyzed in detail in the ultraviolet-visible wavelength region, and their figures of merit as Faraday rotators have been determined. CeF₃ presents superior properties above 300 nm, showing a figure of merit higher than that of the reference material, terbium-gallium-garnet, which is nowadays used in the visible-near infrared. PrF₃ is the best rotator for the 220-300 nm range. Towards shorter wavelength and in the vacuum ultraviolet, it is shown that the LiREF₄ crystals are unique rotators.
