The Bi and Re (Re:Tb, Ho, etc.) partially substituted yttrium iron garnet bulk single crystals of (ReYbBi)(3)Fe5O12 were grown by using Bi2O3/B2O3 as flux and accelerated crucible rotation technique for single-crystal growth. Results on the basis of temperature-changeable magneto-optical Faraday rotation spectra showed that their magneto-optical figures of merit were much higher than that of YIG in the wavelength range of 1.0-1.7 mum, while their Faraday rotation temperature coefficients were even smaller than that of YIG in the temperature range 10-80degreesC. According to temperature compensation effect, magneto-optical materials with temperature-stabilized Faraday rotation were achieved through compounding two kinds of rare-earth ions with opposite temperature coefficients, indicating an advantage for Faraday rotator usage in optical isolator with temperature-stable isolation.
