Abstract

The basic concepts of interband magnetooptical phenomena, involving linear single photon absorption and dispersion, are reviewed with particular emphasis on the more recent work in semiconductors and also semimetals. Experiments using laser sources in linear as well as nonlinear magnetooptical studies are discussed.
