We performed magneto-optical measurements of a 1-mm thick [110] ZnTe crystal. The AC and DC magnetic fields were supplied by an electromagnet in the [110]-[001] plane of the crystal. Our results showed linear magneto-optic response with the applied magnetic field. This response is due to the non-zero B components in direction of the laser beam propagation and the very high Verdet constant value of ZnTe.
