Abstract

The 4 × 4 transfer matrix for the magneto-optical layer at oblique incidence is derived. With the help of the transfer matrix, the magneto-optical properties of one-dimensional conjugated magnetophotonic crystals (MPC) heterojunctions are studied. The results show that there exists a Tamm state localized at the interface between conjugated MPC. By coupling the Tamm states, high transmittance and large Faraday rotation angle can be obtained simultaneously in conjugated MPC multiple heterojunctions structure. It can be used to make novel mageto-optical device, promised to further application in optical information process.
