Abstract

${LiTbF}_{4}$ has the potential to replace traditional magneto-optic garnet materials as a Faraday rotator in high power laser systems due to its high Verdet constant. New measurements are reported of the ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices of ${LiTbF}_{4}$ as functions of wavelength and temperature, respectively, as well as their corresponding Sellmeier expressions. Consequently, the Verdet coefficient was calculated and plotted as a function of wavelength and temperature. These measurements will aid in further development of ${LiTbF}_{4}$ as an optical isolator.
