【発明の詳細な説明】 《産業上の利用分野》 本発明は、光アイソレータや光スイッチ等に使用され
る磁気光学素子及びその製造方法に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION << Industrial application field >> The present invention relates to a magneto-optical element used for an optical isolator, an optical switch, and the like, and a method for manufacturing the same.
《従来の技術》 上記の磁気光学素子は、ファラデー回転角度θFが45
度(45deg)になるように調整する必要がある。<< Conventional Technology >> The above-mentioned magneto-optical element has a Faraday rotation angle θF of 45 °.
It is necessary to adjust the temperature to 45 degrees.
従来のFZ法で育成されるYIG(Y3Fe5O12バルク)は、
ファラデー回転係数θF(deg/cm)が極めて小さく、1.
31μm帯用の磁気光学素子とする場合は、45度のファラ
デー回転角度に調整するために、2.0mm以上もの長さに
結晶を成長させる必要があった。YIG (Y 3 Fe 5 O 12 bulk) grown by the conventional FZ method is
The Faraday rotation coefficient θF (deg / cm) is extremely small,
In the case of a magneto-optical element for the 31 μm band, it was necessary to grow a crystal to a length of 2.0 mm or more in order to adjust the Faraday rotation angle to 45 degrees.
このため、製造コストが高額になる上、デバイスが大
型化する等の問題があった。For this reason, there have been problems such as an increase in manufacturing cost and an increase in the size of the device.
このような問題を解決するために、近年、希土類元素
の一部をBiで置換したいわゆるBi置換磁性ガーネット単
結晶からなる磁気光学素子が広く研究されるようになっ
た。In order to solve such a problem, in recent years, a magneto-optical element made of a so-called Bi-substituted magnetic garnet single crystal in which a part of a rare earth element is substituted with Bi has been widely studied.
このBi置換磁性ガーネット単結晶は、Bi置換量を多く
するとファラデー回転係数θF(deg/cm)が大きくな

転角度に調整するためには、数百μm程度の長さに結晶
を成長(一般には、液相エピタキシャル法[以下、LPE
法]により成長)させるだけで充分である。In the Bi-substituted magnetic garnet single crystal, the Faraday rotation coefficient θF (deg / cm) increases as the amount of Bi substitution increases, and reaches 1500 or more. Therefore, in order to adjust the Faraday rotation angle to 45 degrees, a crystal is grown to a length of about several hundred μm (generally, a liquid phase epitaxial method [hereinafter, LPE).
Method) is sufficient.
従って、Bi置換磁性ガーネット単結晶によれば、上記
したYIGによる場合に比し、磁気光学素子の製造コスト
が低減し、かつデバイスも小型化し得る。Therefore, according to the Bi-substituted magnetic garnet single crystal, the manufacturing cost of the magneto-optical element can be reduced and the device can be downsized, as compared with the case of the above-described YIG.
《発明が解決しようとする課題》 上記のように、Bi置換磁性ガーネット単結晶では、数
百μm(一般には、300μm)程度の極く薄い膜である
ため、ファラデー回転角θFが44.5≦θF≦45.5度の規
格に入るように、上記薄膜の厚さを高精度で加工するこ
とは、極めて困難である。<< Problems to be Solved by the Invention >> As described above, a Bi-substituted magnetic garnet single crystal is a very thin film of about several hundred μm (generally, 300 μm), so that the Faraday rotation angle θF is 44.5 ≦ θF ≦ It is extremely difficult to process the thickness of the thin film with high precision so as to meet the standard of 45.5 degrees.
また、LPE法により毎回ファラデー回転係数θF(deg
/cm)の同一のものが育成できるとは限らないため、量
産化するにはこの変化するファラデー回転係数に対応す
る技術も重要となる。In addition, the Faraday rotation coefficient θF (deg.
/ cm) is not always possible to grow, so technology for coping with this changing Faraday rotation coefficient is also important for mass production.
すなわち例えば、RBiIG(R:希土類元素)において、
ファラデー回転係数θF(deg/cm)を1500とすると、膜
厚が1μm変化すると、ファラデー回転角度θFは0.15
deg変化することになる。故に、ファラデー回転角度θ
Fを±0.5degの範囲内に入れるためには、θF=45deg
なる膜厚に対して±3.3μmと許容幅の極く小さい加工
精度としなければならない。That is, for example, in RBiIG (R: rare earth element),
Assuming that the Faraday rotation coefficient θF (deg / cm) is 1500, when the film thickness changes by 1 μm, the Faraday rotation angle θF becomes 0.15.
deg will change. Therefore, the Faraday rotation angle θ
To make F fall within the range of ± 0.5deg, θF = 45deg
The processing accuracy must be extremely small with an allowable width of ± 3.3 μm for a given film thickness.
このように、Bi置換磁性ガーネット単結晶による場合
は、数百μmという極く薄い膜厚を高精度で加工する必
要があり、加工コスト、延いては製品コストが大幅に増
加する。As described above, in the case of using a Bi-substituted magnetic garnet single crystal, it is necessary to process an extremely thin film having a thickness of several hundreds of micrometers with high accuracy, and the processing cost and, consequently, the product cost are greatly increased.
本発明は、以上の諸点に鑑みてなされたもので、その
目的するところは、加工技術が容易で製品コストの安価
な磁気光学素子とその製造方法を提案するにある。The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to propose a magneto-optical element which is easy in processing technology and inexpensive in product cost, and a method of manufacturing the same.

換単結晶の一部を除去するようにした。In addition, as a method suitable for manufacturing the magneto-optical element, a Bi-unsubstituted magnetic garnet single crystal is grown on a non-magnetic garnet single crystal substrate by a liquid phase epitaxial method, and then a Bi-substituted single crystal is grown on the Bi-unsubstituted single crystal. After growing a substituted magnetic garnet single crystal by a liquid phase epitaxial method,
At least a part of the nonmagnetic garnet single crystal substrate and a part of the Bi non-substituted single crystal are removed.

回転角θFを得る。<< Operation >> The magneto-optical element according to the present invention comprises a Bi-substituted magnetic garnet single crystal (hereinafter, RIG) film (having a small Faraday rotation coefficient) and a Bi-substituted magnetic garnet single crystal (hereinafter, RBiI).
G) (which has a large Faraday rotation coefficient) is laminated, and the desired Faraday rotation angle θF is obtained by adjusting the thickness of both films.
ここで、RIGは、ファラデー回転係数θF(deg/cm)

Fの大きな変化はなく、膜厚加工の許容幅が大きい。Here, RIG is the Faraday rotation coefficient θF (deg / cm)

There is no large change in F, and the allowable width of the film thickness processing is large.

《実 施 例》 以下、本発明の好適な実施例を添付図面を参照して詳
述する。<< Embodiment >> Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
実施例1. 第1図(A)に示す非磁性ガーネット単結晶基板たる
CaMsZr置換GGG基板1上に、先ず、ファラデー回転係数
θFが250deg/cmのRIG[(TbLa)3(FeAl)5O12]2
を、LPE法により100μm育成させた(同図(B)参
照)。Example 1 A non-magnetic garnet single crystal substrate shown in FIG.
First, a RIG [(TbLa) 3 (FeAl) 5 O 12 ] 2 having a Faraday rotation coefficient θF of 250 deg / cm on a CaMsZr-substituted GGG substrate 1.
Was grown to 100 μm by the LPE method (see FIG. 1B).
このRIG2は表面が鏡面になっていたので、何らの加工

−1500deg/cmのRBiIG((TbLuBi)3FesO12)3を、LPE
法により307μm育成させた(同図(C)参照)。Since this RIG2 had a mirror-finished surface, it was not subjected to any processing, and RBiIG ((TbLuBi) 3 FesO 12 ) 3 having a Faraday rotation coefficient θF2 of −1500 deg / cm was placed on this RIG2 without any processing.
307 μm was grown by the method (see FIG. 3C).
次に、CaMsZr置換GGG基板1を除去した(同図(D)
参照)。このようにして本発明に係る磁気光学素子が製
造される。Next, the CaMsZr-substituted GGG substrate 1 was removed (FIG. 3D).
reference). Thus, the magneto-optical element according to the present invention is manufactured.
この状態で磁気光学素子のファラデー回転角度θFを
測定したところ−43.5度であったため、RIG2側を切削加

た。この磁気光学素子の波長依存性,温度依存性は、RB
iIG単独のものに比し、何ら損色なかった。In this state, the Faraday rotation angle θF of the magneto-optical element was measured to be −43.5 degrees. Therefore, the RIG2 side was cut and the film thickness of RIG2 was adjusted to set θF to 45 degrees. The wavelength dependence and temperature dependence of this magneto-optical element are RB
There was no discoloration compared to the iIG alone.
なお、この実施例においては、RBiIGは、膜厚が1μ

μmと極く狭くしなければならない。In this embodiment, RBiIG has a thickness of 1 μm.
m, the Faraday rotation angle θF2 changes by 0.15 degrees. Therefore, as described above, by adjusting the film thickness on the RBiIG side, the accuracy of the Faraday rotation angle θF of the magneto-optical element can be adjusted by ± 0.5.
If you try to adjust the thickness, the tolerance of processing accuracy of film thickness is ± 3.3
It must be as narrow as μm.

容幅は±20μmと、RIG2の加工精度±3.3μmの約6倍
も広い。On the other hand, in the case of RIG2, the change in the Faraday rotation angle θF1 is as small as 0.025 degrees with respect to the change in the film thickness of 1 μm. Therefore, the allowable range of the film thickness processing accuracy with respect to the θF processing accuracy of ± 0.5 degrees is ± 20 μm, which is about six times wider than the RIG2 processing accuracy of ± 3.3 μm.
故に、この実施例では磁気光学素子のファラデー回転
角度θFの高精度での調整を容易な加工技術により行う
ことができる。Therefore, in this embodiment, the Faraday rotation angle θF of the magneto-optical element can be adjusted with high accuracy by a simple processing technique.
なお、粗調整をするにはRBiIG3側を研削加工してもよ

5度の磁気光学素子を調整した。この磁気光学素子の波
長依存性,温度損色はなかった。Example 2. In Example 1, RIG was (YLa) 3 Fe 5 O 12 (Faraday rotation coefficient θF1 was 220 deg / cm), and RBiIG was (GdLuBi) 3 Fe 5
Except for using O 12 (Faraday rotation coefficient θF2 is 1600 deg / cm), the Faraday rotation angle θF4
The 5 degree magneto-optical element was adjusted. There was no wavelength dependence and no color loss of this magneto-optical element.
この実施例のRIGの加工精度の許容幅は、RBiIGのそれ
よりも7倍も広いため、容易な加工技術で高精度の調整
ができる。Since the allowable range of the processing accuracy of the RIG of this embodiment is seven times wider than that of the RBiIG, high-precision adjustment can be performed with an easy processing technique.

厚さ切削加工することにより行うが、CaMgZr置換GGG基
板は必ずしも除去する必要はない。Incidentally, in order to manufacture the magneto-optical element according to the present invention, it is not necessarily limited to the embodiment of the method described above, for example, first growing RBiIG on a CaMgZr-substituted GGG substrate, and then growing RIG on the RBiIG. You may do so. In this case as well, the fine adjustment of the Faraday rotation angle is performed by cutting the RIG side to a predetermined thickness, but the CaMgZr-substituted GGG substrate does not necessarily need to be removed.
なお、本発明者らの知得したところによれば、上記RI
Gのファラデー回転係数θF1は、250deg/cm以下とするの
が好ましい。すなわち、これより大きいと膜厚加工の許
容幅が小さくなるからである。According to the knowledge of the present inventors, the above RI
The Faraday rotation coefficient θF1 of G is preferably set to 250 deg / cm or less. That is, if it is larger than this, the allowable width of the film thickness processing becomes smaller.
また、RBiIGのファラデー回転係数θF2は1500deg/cm
以上とするのが好ましい。これは、300μm程度の薄膜
で45度程度のファラデー回転角度θFを持つ磁気光学素

厚くする必要が生じ、製造コストの増大、デバイスの大
型化を招くからである。The Faraday rotation coefficient θF2 of RBiIG is 1500 deg / cm
It is preferable to make the above. This is to obtain a magneto-optical element having a Faraday rotation angle θF of about 45 degrees with a thin film of about 300 μm. If θF2 is smaller than this, it is necessary to increase the film thickness, thereby increasing the manufacturing cost and increasing the device This is because the size is increased.

が、100μm以下の膜厚では、このような加工は不要だ
からである。Furthermore, the film thickness when growing RIG by the LPE method is 100
It is preferably set to be not more than μm. This is because if the film thickness is 100 μm or more, the film surface becomes rough, so it is necessary to polish the RIG surface and perform mirror finishing prior to the growth of RBiIG. It is unnecessary.

The Faraday rotation angle can be adjusted with high precision by the processing technology. As a result, processing costs are significantly reduced.
