Abstract
If one reflects plane-polarized light from a nonferromagnetic metal with a magnetic field normal to the reflecting surface, the reflected light is found to have its plane of polarization rotated from that of the incident beam, and is slightly elliptically polarized. This effect is known as the polar reflection Faraday effect (PRFE). The PRFE has been measured for aluminum and silver as a function of wavelength in the range 4150-8000 A.
