Potassium terbium fluoride KTb3F10 (KTF) crystal is a promising magneto-active material for creating multi-kilowatt average-power Faraday isolators operating at the visible and near-infrared wavelengths. Nevertheless, the key material's parameter needed for the design of any Faraday isolator-the Verdet constant, has not been comprehensively investigated yet. In this Letter, we report on measurement of the Verdet constant of the KTF crystal for wavelengths between 600 and 1500 nm and for…

TLDR
A broadband radiation source was used in a combination with an advanced polarization-stepping method, enabling an in-depth analysis of the wavelength dependence of the investigated materials’ Faraday rotation, and approximate models were derived that may be conveniently used for designing the needed mid-infrared Faraday devices for lasers with the emission wavelengths in the 2-μm spectral region.
