V predlagaemoy rabote soderzhatsya kratkie svedeniya o staticheskikh i dinamicheskikh parametrakh tonkikh magnitnykh plenok ferrit-granatov - materialov, kotorye nashli shirokoe primenenie v raznoobraznykh zapominayushchikh i magnitoopticheskikh ustroystvakh. Issledovanie svoystv magnitoaktivnykh materialov osushchestvlyaetsya s pomoshch'yu optiko-elektronnykh sistem, razrabotannykh s ispol'zovaniem polyarizatsionnykh mikroskopov na osnove effektov Faradeya i Kerra, kotorye pozvolyayut provesti tsikl izmereniy staticheskikh i dinamicheskikh kharakteristik tonkikh magnitnykh plenok. V posobie takzhe soderzhit opisanie ryada virtual'nykh laboratornykh rabot po issledovaniyu zavisimosti metrologicheskikh i informatsionnykh kharakteristik magnitoopticheskikh ustanovok s monokhromaticheskimi i nemonokhromaticheskimi izluchatelyami ot ikh rabochikh parametrov. Rabota budet interesna studentam, obuchayushchimsya po spetsial'nostyam Fizika, Elektronika i mikroelektronika, Materialovedenie i tekhnologiya novykh materialov, a takzhe spetsialistam, rabotayushchim v nazvannykh oblastyakh.
