Abstract:
This paper represents an extended version of the talk given at the XVI Feofilov Symposium on the spectroscopy of crystals activated by rare-earth ions and devoted to the 100th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding physicist-spectroscopist and Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Petr Petrovich Feofilov (Saint-Petersburg, November 9–13, 2015). In this review, we briefly elucidate the development of research on the optical detection of magnetization initiated by P P Feofilov and then carried on by his disciples and followers.
Keywords:magneto-optics, magnetic resonance, magnetic susceptibility, spin noise spectroscopy.
