title: High magneto-optical characteristics of Holmium-doped terbium gallium garnet crystal.
abstract: Magneto-optical characteristics of a new magneto-active material, (Tb(1-x)Hox)3Ga5O12crystal, have been grown by the Czochralski (Cz) method. A high value of the Verdet constant was obtained at room temperature-namely, 214.9 and 77.8  rad·m-1T-1for 632.8 and 1064 nm, respectively. The Verdet constant of the Ho-doped terbium gallium garnet crystal at 1064 nm is about 2 times higher than that of terbium gallium garnet crystal. High value of magneto-optical figure-of-merit makes it an attractive next-generation magneto-optics material for high-power Faraday isolators.
