Abstract Magnetooptical properties of one-dimensional aperiodic structures formed by stacking together magnetic and nonmagnetic layers according to the Kolakoski self-generation scheme are studied theoretically using 4 $$\times$$ × transfer matrix method. The effect generation stage sequence, helicity directi...

An isotropic medium, having magnetic sublevels, when subjected to a magnetic field or an electromagnetic field can induce anisotropy in the medium; and as a result the plane of polarization of the probe field can rotate. Therefore the rotation due to the magnetic field alone, can be controlled efficiently with use of a coherent field. We show, using a control field, significant enhancement of t...

Abstract Intense terahertz pulses offer unique pathway to resonantly drive the correlated spin systems up nonlinear regime. However, detection of such dynamics often suffers from small signal amplitude that can be easily hindered by linear background components. In order efficiently extract signals, here we demonstrate magnetooptical effect utilized. We excite precession in orthoferrite YFeO 3 ...
