Abstract
Magneto-optic behaviour is a specific, non-reciprocal example of gyrotropic behaviour. When coupled to photo-induced Faraday rotation it is possible to discriminate this effect from the background of other nonlinear effects Non-reciprocal behaviour is characteristic of artificial gyrotropy and can be used in optical isolators and a range of coherence and quantum problems. This is all in sharp contrast to natural gyrotropy, like optical activity. it is also important to go beyond third-order, Kerr, optical nonlinearity and move towards a saturable model of terms in the polarisation. In this spirit, this chapter seeks to determinate the influence of a magneto-optic presence upon an optically nonlinear material that is modelled by a cubic-quintic form of polarisation. In addition, the coefficients of the envelope equation will be made complex, to take into account both linear and nonlinear damping and cubic gain processes. The emphasis is upon the simulation outcomes, however, rather the applications.
