We present a Faraday rotation spectroscopy (FRS) technique for measurements on the micron scale. Spectral acquisition speeds of many orders of magnitude faster than state-of-the-art modulation spectroscopy setups are demonstrated. The…

Optical Faraday rotation is one of the most direct and practically important manifestations of magnetically broken time-reversal symmetry. The rotation angle is proportional to the distance traveled by the light, and up to now sizeable…

Polarization measurements at low radio frequencies allow detection of small Faraday rotation measures caused by regular magnetic fields in galaxies and in the foreground of the Milky Way. The galaxy M31 was observed in two overlapping…
