Abstract
Nonlinear magneto-optical properties of all-garnet magnetophotonic crystals composed of alternating layers of ferromagnetic Bi3Fe5O12 (BIG) and Sm3Ga5O12 quarter-wavelength layers with a half-wavelength BIG microcavity mode are presented. The samples are grown by rf-magnetron sputtering on non-magnetic GGG substrate. Many-fold enhancement of the magnetization-induced effects in second-harmonic generation (SHG) as compared with linear magneto-optical effects are observed: the SHG magnetic contrast up to 50% and magnetization-induced rotation of the polarization plane of about 90° are measured at the resonance microcavity wavelengh of λ=779 nm.
