Magneto-Optic Fraunhofer Diffraction on 2D Magnetic Domain Patterns

Magneto-optical Fraunhofer diffraction on phase 2D domain patterns with Cmm6 and Pab2 symmetry in uniaxial iron garnet films was studied. Domain patterns contain more than 100 elementary cells and have high spatial homogeneity. The diffraction patterns contain up to 10 or more orders of peaks. Possibilities of space-time modulation of optical radiation and multiplication of the modulation frequency both under change of diffraction order as well as amplitude of magnetic bias field strength were shown.
