Adamenko D., Adamiv V., Klymiv I. and Vlokh R.

Electrooptic Kerr and magnetooptic Faraday effects are studied in LiKB4O7, Li2B6O10 and LiCsB6O10 glasses. The corresponding quantitative coefficients are determined for the wavelength of 632.8 nm. It is shown that the above compounds can be used as electrooptic and magnetooptic materials which are highly resistant to powerful optical radiation and transparent in the ultraviolet spectral range.

Keywords: borate glasses, electrooptic Kerr effect, Faraday effect
