Notes:
When the constitutive elements of photonic crystals (PCs) are magnetic, or even only adefect introduced in PCs is magnetic, the resultant PCs exhibit very unique optical andmagneto-optical properties. The strong photon confinement in the bulk of magnetic PCs results inlarge enhancement in linear and nonlinear magneto-optical responses of the media. Novel functions,such as the band Faraday effect, magnetic super-prism effect and non-reciprocal or magneticallycontrollable photonic band structure, are predicted to occur theoretically. All the unique features ofthe media arise from the existence of its magnetization, and hence they are called magnetophotoniccrystals providing the spin-dependent nature in PCs
