Magneto-Optic Development for Laser Beam Steering.

Abstract

Wide angle laser beam steering is required for numerous applications which require the collimation and brightness of laser beams. To this end, an effort to develop magneto-optic laser beam steering based on magnetic stripe domain diffraction has been conducted. It was discovered that strain-free bismuth-substituted rare earth iron garnet crystals can be grown by liquid phase epitaxy on gadolinium gallium garnet provided that sodium oxide or lead oxide is added to the bismuth oxide solvent melt.
