ENHANCED MAGNETIC MIRROR CONFIGURATION Abstract A magnetic mirror for producing enhanced circular bi- refringence comprises a thin, semi-transparent film of magneto-optical material deposited on a reflective substrate and having a magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the film. The magneto-optical film is overcoated with a multilayer dielectric stack to increase the reflectivity of the mirror and thereby reduce the overall loss. The magneto- Kerr rotation resulting upon reflection from the top surface of the magnetic film is enhanced by the Faraday rotation ob- tained via multiple reflections in the magnetic film. Preferably, the magnetic mirror has an overall reflectivity of 99%, making it suitable for use as the nonreciprocal bias element in a ring laser gyro, and the magneto-optical film comprises a layer of MnBi.
