Magnetooptical Spectroscopy Laboratory
The Magnetooptics Laboratory was established in 2018 to study magnetically ordered substances using magnetooptical phenomena over a wide spectral and temperature range.
Laboratory equipment
The core of the laboratory is a supercontinuum laser system, an optical cryostat and a vector electromagnet with the following parameters:
- supercontinuum laser SuperK EXTREME (NKTPhotonics) generating laser light in a very broad spectral range 460–2400 nm, from which the laser beam at desired wavelength can be selected by SuperK VARIA tunable filter (400 – 840 nm) or individual band pass filters (with a typical spectral width of 10 nm)
- closed-cycle He cryostat (Advanced Research Systems) with temperature range 10–800 K and electrical connectors
- 2D vector magnet with a maximum field of 210 mT
- polarization control equipment (e.g. photoelastic modulator, Berek compensator, optical bridge)
