摘要：

We report the observation of the inverse Cotton-Mouton effect (ICME) i.e. a magnetization induced in a medium by non-resonant linearly polarized light propagating in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. We present a detailed study of the ICME in a TGG crystal showing the dependence of the measured effect on the light intensity, the optical polarization, and on the external magnetic field. We derive a relation between the Cotton-Mouton and inverse Cotton-Mouton effects that is roughly in agreement with existing experimental data. Our results open the way to applications of the ICME in optical devices. Copyright (C) EPLA, 2011
