We study the spectral dependence of Faraday Rotation in µm-thin bismuth iron garnet (BiIG) films under illumination by a white light source.
By applying a thin layer of Ag the Faraday Rotation can be enhanced due to the longer optical path length within the sample. With a silver layer on both sides, the sample acts as an optical resonator thus leading to resonant behavior of the Faraday Rotation and its enhancement by up to one order of magnitude depending on the parameters of the structure
