Abstract

Measurements of magneto-optical effects in the terahertz frequency region have been studied using time domain transmission spectroscopy. Upon the application of a magnetic field in the same direction as the wave propagation, the transmittance of the left- and right-hand circular polarized components of the electric field are found to be different. Such difference can be attributed to the Faraday effect. When the magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the wave propagation, the horizontal and vertical components of the transmitted electric field are also found to be different and can be ascribed to the Voigt effect. Theoretical calculations and experimental results show good agreement.
