Abstract

Practical and technical considerations for an instrument designed to measure high magnetic fields by Faraday effect are given. Magnetic fields up to 2 Tesla were measured and the results compared to those of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance technique. Results of measurements at low temperatures are also reported.
