Magneto-Optical Ellipsometry: Effect of Cubic Optical Nonlinearity
Journal: Journal of the Magnetics Society of Japan
Year: 2011

We investigate optical plane rotation and ellipticity at light reflection from a nonlinear optical dielectric film on a bigyrotropic magneto-electric slab. We have analyzed the optical nonlinearity and the magneto-electric coupling contributions to the ellipsometric parameters for both s- and p-polarized light at the incidence angles close to pseudo-Brewster angles.
