摘要：

We report two orders of magnitude enhancement of the Faraday rotation in reflection (polar Ken effect) when a single semimagnetic semiconductor quantum well is inserted in an asymmetric microcavity operating in the strong coupling regime and with minimum reflectivity at the polariton frequencies. Faraday rotations of 140 degrees are observed at 0.4 T magnetic fields. The technique can be used for very sensitive spectroscopic studies. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
