Observation of the Inverse Cotton-Mouton Effect
Résumé
We report the investigation of the Inverse Cotton-Mouton Effect (ICME) i.e. the magnetization induced in a medium by light propagating in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. We present a detailed study of the ICME in a TGG crystal showing the dependence of the measured effect on the laser power density and polarization, and on the static external magnetic field. We finally derive a relation between the Cotton-Mouton and Inverse Cotton-Mouton effects which is experimentally confirmed.
