Abstract :
We report on a giant Faraday effect in n-InSb probed via polarization-resolved THz time-domain spectroscopy. Rotation angles and ellipticities as large as π and 1, respectively, were observed in a wide frequency range, making n-InSb a promising material for broadband THz polarization optics.
