| contents | We report the realization of near total Faraday rotation of $θ_F$=1.43 rad (82 degrees) on a single pass through a 2D electron gas (2DEG), approaching the ideal limit of $π/2$ rad (90 degrees). The corresponding Verdet constant V = $9.5\times10^{8}$ rad T$^{-1}$m$^{-1}$, exceeds by approximately one order of magnitude that reported in other material systems. Our measurements were conducted at microwave frequencies (f=9.2-11.2 GHz) in a 2DEG with a high dc mobility $μ$ = $7\times10^6$ cm$^2$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$, in a hollow waveguide at low-magnetic field (B < 200 mT). Near-total Faraday rotation is attributed to the Hall effect with weak radiative coupling to the 2DEG in the inertial, collisionless regime, $ωτ\gg 1$, where $τ$ is the charge transport scattering time. A conducting iris was used to realize weak radiative coupling. Under these conditions, Faraday rotation is strongly enhanced away from the dissipation peak at cyclotron resonance. Our work demonstrates that the classical Hall effect could be ideally suited for the implementation of ideal non-reciprocal devices. |
