Optimisation of measuring magneticproperties of micro-structuresusing the magneto-optic Kerr effect

Magnetic storage means storage of data using magnetised medium and is widespreadover the world today, especially in hard disk drives. Using this kind of storagerequires knowledge about these materials. A way to study thin magnetic materials isto use MOKE(magneto optical Kerr effect). A Moke-system is a setup to measure thinmagnetic films by shooting a laser and analyze the reflected beam.The purpose of this report is to document and if possible improve a MOKE-system,named HOMER. This includes temperature regulation, filters, amplifiers, opticalchopper, Helmholtz coils and a laser. HOMER was documented and some changeswere made. The PID-parameters were set successfully. A low pass filter wasremoved, which decreased the noise. Using an optical chopper and lock in amplifierhowever did not decrease the noise. A labview program was written to demagnetizethe samples in a certain time which seemed to work properly. The hall probe in thesystem was successfully calibrated.
