TGG is an excellent magneto-optical crystal used in various Faraday devices (Rotator and Isolator) in the range of 400nm-1100nm, excluding 475-500nm.
Advantages of TGG:
Large Verdet constant (35 Rad T-1 m-1)
Low optical losses (<0.1%/cm)
High thermal conductivity (7.4W m-1 K-1).
High laser damage threshold (>1GW/cm2)
