Rotation of light utilizing a magnetic field

AI Thread Summary
A new lens design combining a modified Hele-Shaw cell and a modified etalon has been developed, demonstrating the ability to deflect a red laser beam 180 degrees using a strong magnetic field of 2T. The angle of deflection is directly proportional to the angle of the applied magnetic field, while polarizing filters do not influence the results. The creator has supporting videos and images for these findings. They seek further discussion and information on this phenomenon. Contact can be made via the provided email for those interested in engaging further.

I've developed a lens that is a cross between a modified hele-shaw cell and a modified etalon. My experiments with a red laser and a strong (2T) magnet result in the deflection of a laser beam 180 degrees. The deflection angle will rotate in direct proportion to the angle of the applied magnetic field.

Polarizing filters have no effect on the outcome of these experiments.

I have movies and images that support these claims.

Is anyone familiar with this principal? And if so, where can I find more information concerning this phenomenon?
