TGG

TGG crystal is also known as terbium gallium garnet crystal, with the chemical formula Tb3Ga5O12. It is a magneto-optical crystal with good comprehensive properties.

TGG crystal has a high magneto-optical constant, low optical loss, high thermal conductivity, and a high laser damage threshold. TGG single crystal is the best magneto-optical material for Faraday polarizer and isolator, and the applicable wavelength is 400~1100 nm (excluding 470~500 nm).

TGG (terbium gallium garnet) single crystal has a very high Verdet constant in the range of 4oonm-11oonm (excluding 475-500nm), which is the best and most widely used magneto-optical material in Faraday rotators and isolators.

By placing the rod of this material in a strong magnetic field, the Faraday rotation angle of more than 45 °C can be achieved. This allows the construction of a Faraday rotator as the main component of the Faraday isolator, which transmits light in only one direction.

Features of TGG crystal:

  • High damage threshold
  • Low optical loss
  • High thermal conductivity
  • Large Verdet constant
