Abstract

The fabrication of one-dimensional magnetophotonic crystals (MPC) composed from Bi-substituted yttrium-iron-garnet films separated by the silicon oxide layers is presented. The enhancement of the Faraday rotation angle is observed at the spectral regions of the photonic band gap edges. The effective Faraday rotation achieves the values up to 1.5 degrees per micron at 1100-nm-wavelength.
