Introduction
Terbium Gallium Garnet (Tb3Ga5O12, TGG) is an excellent magneto-optical crystal used in various Faraday devices (Rotators and Isolators) in the range of 400 nm-1100 nm, excluding 475 nm-500 nm.
CASTECH's magneto-optical crystal TGG is featured by • Large Verdet constant (35 Rad T-1 m-1)
• High thermal conductivity (7.4 W m-1 K-1)
• High laser damage threshold (> 1 GW/cm2)
