magnetooptical Kerr effect(English)

• describes the change in polarization of incident light as it is reflected or transmitted by magnetic material. This effect can be used for modulating the amplitude of light and forms the basis of optical isolators and optical circulators that are integral to optical telecommunications networks and various laser applications
