= Inverse Faraday effect
{wiki=Inverse_Faraday_effect}
The Inverse Faraday Effect (IFE) is a phenomenon in electromagnetism and optics, particularly in materials with magnetic properties. It refers to the generation of a magnetic field in response to electromagnetic radiation, such as a laser beam. This effect is essentially the reverse of the traditional Faraday Effect, where an applied magnetic field causes rotation of the polarization plane of light passing through a material.
