Patent ID: 7161452

Claim:
An augmented magic sphere rotator permanent magnetic structure, comprising: an interior magnet is nested within a hollow core of a magic sphere; an axial tunnel is located in said interior magnet and said magic sphere; said interior magnet having a given interior magnetic field and said magic sphere having a given magic sphere magnetic field, said interior magnet being nested within said magic sphere having a given structural mass; an optically active element, having a given length, is positioned within said axial tunnel; said magic sphere having a generally circular magnetization direction; said interior magnet being nested within said magic sphere provides an augmented magic sphere magnet, said augmented magic sphere magnet generates an increased magnetic field within said optically active element; an input optical beam is inserted into said axial tunnel; said input optical beam being polarized by said increased magnetic field results in a magnetomotive force and a rotated output optical beam allowing a reduced element length and a reduced volume; said input optical beam being exposed to said increased magnetic field within said optically active element polarizes said input optical beam; and said increased magnetic field being greater than said given interior magnetic field and said given magic sphere magnetic field.
