- Of or pertaining to the influence of the magnetic field upon optical phenomena or to optical phenomena dependent upon magnetic action; specifically, pertaining to the power of the magnetic field to cause rotation of the plane of polarization of light; magneto-optic.
Examples
“He constructed a new BEC apparatus transporting cold atoms magnetically from a magneto-optical trap into a high vacuum glass cell where BEC can be achieved without the need for any further laser cooling.”
“Each cluster contains approximately one million atoms, collected by a magneto-optical trap.”
“The magneto-optical trap (MOT) has become specially important.”

“Wieman pointed toward a successful method: laser cooling of alkali atoms in a so-called magneto-optical atom trap and then continued reduction of speed through evaporative cooling, which is a way of systematically getting rid of the fastest atoms.”
“Our ability to control the optical and magnetic properties by introducing an atom in a nanoparticle and then fabricating microstructures using organic polymers or self-organized structures gives us the opportunity to make a new class of very efficient phosphors (for light, displays, biotagging etc.), magneto-optical (for magnetic memories and other sensors), lasers for fiber optical communicators and eventually optical computers," Bhargava said.”
“An important device is the magneto-optical trap, where atoms are slowed down in an”
“In 1987 Pritchard and Chu, following a suggestion by J. Dalibard, developed the workhorse of later experiments, the magneto-optical trap (MOT).”

“Corel Systems offers a set of OS/2 drivers (in its "Corel SCSI" package) for many more CD-ROM drives, magneto-optical drives, and other SCSI devices when attached to any of a number of SCSI adapters.”
“Corel Systems offers a SCSI driver package which will give you additional support for removeable media (such as magneto-optical drives) under OS/2 (and DOS).”
