Abstract

A novel type of magneto-optic layers based on CdMnTe quantum wells is used to image the magnetic flux pattern at the surface of type I superconductors. The magneto-optic layer is designed as an anti-reflecting optical cavity. The quantum wells are arranged in a Bragg structure and placed at maxima of the electric field in the cavity in order to enhance Faraday rotation.
