Light control with an octupole magnet

So-called octupole magnets open up new possibilities for optical data processing.
What can you expect?
We will explain how an octupole magnet works in an easy-to-understand way. With this special magnet configuration, four magnetic fields can be superimposed in such a way that they act in all directions in space. This allows the magneto-optical properties of new materials to be investigated precisely.

What is this useful for?
For example, for the development of magneto-optical memories that could be used in optical data processing.

Highlights at the information stand:

• Clear explanations: Exactly how the magnetic field components (x-, y-, and z-direction) work.
• Exciting applications: Why this technology is important for the future.
• Insights into research: How scientists research materials for high-tech devices.
