Abstract

A polarization controlling apparatus includes a permanent magnet itself or a permanent magnet to which a part capable of being magnetized is applied, an electromagnet capable of changing the magnitude of a magnetic field to be generated thereby, and a Faraday rotation effect element. The Faraday rotation effect element is disposed at a position at which an interaction magnetic field acts on the Faraday rotation effect element. The interaction magnetic field is produced by an interaction between a magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet and a magnetic field generated by the electromagnet. The Faraday rotation effect element thereby produces a Faraday rotation effect on inputted light. The magnitude of the interaction magnetic field in the Faraday rotation effect element is varied by a magnetic field component generated by the electromagnet to vary the amount of the Faraday rotation effect to be had on the inputted light.
