Dispersive properties of a flexible KRS-5 fiber on magneto-optical effects at individual CO(2) laser lines.
A flexible midinfrared fiber is investigated with respect to its magneto-optical properties, such as the Faraday effect, the Voigt effect, and the extinction coefficient, at individual vibrational-rotational transitions of a CO(2) 10.6 microm laser. It is seen that dispersive properties exist over the wavelengths above, typically showing a Verdet constant of 5 x 10(-4) deg/Oe cm, a natural retardation of 0.018 deg/cm, and an extinction coefficient of 2.0 x 10(-3)cm(-1)on the average.
