Talk:Verdet constant

http://www.st.northropgrumman.com/synoptics/SiteFiles/docs/PDFs/tgg_verdet_constant.pdf uses Oersteds instead of Teslas - those aren't compatible, surely?

Someone please clarify why the "constant" is chromatic if the effect is not. Kwantus 00:48, 2005 Jan 2 (UTC)

^Reply: The effect must be chromatic, I'm going to edit that part of the article. As far as I know it will even change sign on passing a strong absorbtion line. For paramagnetic materials 10,000Oe ~ 1 Tesla. Tesla is flux density and Oe is field strength but so long as the permeability is about 1 people then to fix and match. Harmoxe

It would be beneficial to provide a link with tabulated values for some materials. Also, a re-examination of the entire section ("...verdet constant for most materials is extremely small...") and a more scientific explanation is in order. Ryantuck (talk) 22:29, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

p3 of [1] has a table with values for some common materials. - Rod57 (talk) 13:02, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Graphs would be helpful

It would be great to find a graph of the effect vs wavelength with curves for notable materials. eg like fig 4 of UV-visible Faraday rotators based on rare-earth fluoride single crystals... - Rod57 (talk) 12:47, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
