Coherent Optical Photons from Shock Waves in Crystals To our knowledge, this phenomenon represents a fundamentally new form of coherent optical radiation source that is distinct from lasers and free-electron lasers. In optics, one-way travel for photons is typically created by using what's known as Faraday rotation. This effect can occur only if the structure of the material is anisotropic, so that the material's optical properties are not the same in all directions. Wave plates and linear polarizers are common optical elements that alter the polarization of light passing through them.

To exploit THz-wave region, nonlinear optical effects and various optical technology are utilized. This Demonstration shows the effect of the optical element on the polarization of light. Here, a large magnetic field interacts with a crystal (i.e. Claus., Semiconductor Optics, 2nd ed., Springe, New York, 2004.
