magneto-optical materials

Magneto-optical materials are special substances that change their optical properties when exposed to a magnetic field. This means they can alter how they reflect, transmit, or polarize light based on the magnetic environment. These materials are used in devices like data storage, optical isolators, and sensors to manipulate light signals securely and efficiently. Their ability to connect magnetic and optical properties makes them valuable in advanced communication and information technology.
