Abstract :
We report a new broad band technique for rapidly measuring the complex Faraday and Kerr rotations in materials such as topological insulators and graphene, combining the distinct advantages of THz time domain spectroscopy and polarization modulation techniques. The performance of the system is demonstrated using GaAs two dimensional electron gas in a magnetic field.
