Zusammenfassung:A light beam of linearly polarized light is passed through a sample of material to be analyzed to a detector. A magnetic field is applied to the sample to obtain magneto-optic rotation of the polarization of the light by magneto-optically active constituents of the sample. A reference polarization rotator is positioned in the light beam to impart a reference rotation to the polarization of the light. One or both of the polarization rotation effects produced by the sample and the reference are modulated to produce a sideband modulation signal component in the detected output. The sideband signal component is separated and measured to obtain a signal having an amplitude which is a linear function of the quantity of the magneto-optically active material in the sample under analysis. In a preferred embodiment the reference polarization rotator comprises a second magneto-optic cell containing a reference magneto-optically active material corresponding to one of the constituents within the sample under analysis, whereby increased specificity is obtained in the output measurement.
