Enhancement of Faraday effect in one-dimensional magneto-optical photonic crystal including a magnetic layer with wavelength dependent off-diagonal elements of dielectric constant tensor

► 1-D magnetic photonic crystal (MPC) prepared by sol-gel method. ► Enhancement of Faraday rotation due to the magnetic defect layer of CoFe2O4. ► Shift of wavelength of Faraday rotation maximum from resonant light transmission.
