This paper describes the effect of the mixing ratio of starting materials and the growth parameters of magnetic garnet films by LPE on the properties of the films and suggests the conditions to obtain the films suitable for the Faraday rotators of the optical CTs. The properties of the films investigated for the evaluation of the films were thickness, surface morphology, X-ray diffraction, lattice constant, lattice mismatch between film and substrate (single crystal nonmagnetic wafer), and Faraday rotation angle. Optical CTs have been fabricated and evaluated using the films grown.
