Abstract

A Faraday isolator is a 45° Faraday rotator placed between two linear polarizers oriented at 45° to each other. InSb has been used previously for the fabrication of Faraday isolators for use in the IR, using either the interband contribution in undoped material or the free-carrier-plasma contribution to the Faraday rotation in n-type material. The authors have recently shown that in n-type InSb at liquid helium temperature there is an additional contribution to the Faraday rotation arising from the spin of the conduction electrons. It is shown that this effect can be used to obtain an isolator with a high figure of merit.
