摘要

The magneto-optical features in a one-dimensional magnetophotonic crystal based on cholesteric liquid crystals are explored theoretically by employing the Muller matrix method. It is unveiled that the intrinsic nonreciprocity-derived magneto-optical effect exhibits an enhancement, which origins from the strong photonic localization in the defect layers. Meanwhile, the oscillation behavior in the transmission spectrum with the linearly polarized angle indicates its polarization-dependent characteristic due to the breaking of time reversal symmetry in the magnetic materials. This novel scheme presents an opportunity of developing new hybrid structures for technological applications.
