Strong magneto-optical effects due to surface states in three-dimensional topological insulators
arXiv:1411.1430 · doi:10.1364/OE.23.000795
Abstract
We show that a thin film of a three-dimensional topological insulator such as BiSe or BiTe can exhibit strong linear and nonlinear magneto-optical effects in a transverse magnetic field. In particular, one can achieve an almost complete circular polarization of an incident terahertz or mid-infrared radiation and an efficient four-wave mixing.
