Abstract The absorption (α) and Faraday rotation (θ) spectra of 14 garnets belonging to the series Bi x Sm3-x Fe5-y Ga y O12 (0〈x〈1.05, 0.8〈y〈1.15) have been measured between 15 000 cm−1 and 19 000 cm−1. The figure of merit (θ/α) at 17 850 cm−1 (560 nm) increases linearly with increasing bismuth concentration up tox∼0.6 where it begins to increase less rapidly. For operation of magneto-optic display devices at 17 850 cm−1 there is no advantage in using garnets in this series withx〉0.8. The Faraday rotation at 17 850 cm−1 increases linearly with bismuth concentration whereas the absorption coefficient increases more rapidly. The presence of Bi3+ increases the intensity of all Fe3+ pair transitions in the garnet system as a result of the increased superexchange induced by Bi3+. This is in keeping with the observation that the intensity of the6A1g (S)→4T1g (G) transition in (RE)3Fe5O12 (RE=Er, Y, Dy, Gd, Eu) increases on traversing the above RE series as do the Curie temperatures of these iron garnets.
