SUMMARY

The Verdet Constant of SF59 glass at 650nm is established as 23 rad/Tm, although credible sources for this value are scarce. The primary reference appears to be from Schott Glaswerke's 1985 publication titled "Faraday effect in optical glass - the wavelength dependence of the Verdet constant." Despite extensive searches through multiple CRC handbooks and online resources, no direct citations have been found to substantiate this value. Researchers are encouraged to consult the Schott glass catalog for additional context.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Faraday Rotation in optics
  • Familiarity with the concept of Verdet Constant
  • Knowledge of optical materials, specifically SF59 glass
  • Experience with scientific literature and citation practices
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the publication "Faraday effect in optical glass - the wavelength dependence of the Verdet constant" by Schott Glaswerke
  • Explore the SPIE Digital Library for related optical physics papers
  • Investigate the NIST database for verified optical constants
  • Review additional resources on the properties of SF59 glass and its applications in optics
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for physics students, optical engineers, and researchers focusing on Faraday Rotation and the properties of optical materials.

Hello all, I am in desperate need of some help. I'm writing my last paper for my senior capstone in physics (:smile::smile::smile:) and my experiment is Faraday Rotation. I CANNOT find a reference for the Verdet Constant of SF59 glass at 650nm (found V for many other wavelengths). I have searched for hours and hours, checked through 4 different CRC handbooks, and can't find a source to cite. Now, dozens of papers online have said that the Verdet Constant for SF59 is 23rad/Tm, but no actual sources. Please, if you have a link to a credible source (CRC, NIST, etc.) with that information it would be much appreciated.

Not sure if this is the right place, but I thought here was better than the Quantum section since I'm not asking about anything rather just a constant. If it's in the wrong spot, let me know. Thanks!
