Phase retrieval, and thereby retrieval of optical constants, from magnetoreflectance data is performed using the maximum entropy model for spectra analysis. The applicability of the analysis is tested by using the Lorentz model for the permittivity of a nonmagnetic insulator in a case of Faraday configuration.
Key words : magnetoreflectance, phase retrieval, maximum entropy model, Faraday configuration
