tools for Faraday rotation measurements

Tools for Faraday rotation measurements include specialized optical setups that pass polarized light through a magnetic material or plasma. These setups typically feature a laser source, polarization optics (like polarizers and analyzers), and a magnetic field generator (such as electromagnets). A detector measures the angle of rotation of the light's polarization as it travels through the sample. More advanced tools may incorporate spectrometers to analyze wavelength dependence or data acquisition systems for precise recording. These instruments allow scientists to study magnetic and electronic properties of materials by observing how they rotate polarized light in magnetic fields.
