Time dependent Faraday rotation

Abstract

Faraday rotation in a magnetoactive medium with time dependent dielectric permittivity tensor is analyzed through both its diagonal and non-diagonal elements. Continuous and pulse incident laser field cases are considered. In a continuous case linear increasing of Faraday rotation angle with time is obtained.In the continuous laser field case Faraday angle of rotation in both time dependent diagonal and non-diagonal element cases shows an increase with periodic oscillations as either positive (time-dependent dielectric permittivity case) or negative (time dependent gyration vector case) and follows a general pattern. Ultrashort pulse can scan the time dependent dielectric permittivity through the Faraday rotation angle.
