An investigation was made of the field (up to 20 kOe) and temperature (in the range 77--550 degreeK) dependences of the lambda=1.15 ..mu.. Faraday effect in yttrium, samarium, europium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, and lutetium iron garnets. The results obtained and the published information on the temperature dependences of the magnetizations and susceptibilities of these garnets were used to separate the gyroelectric and gyromagnetic contributions of the magnetic sublattices to the Faraday effect. The separation was made on the assumption that the relative contributions of the sublattices were independent of temperature. The changes in the Faraday effect in the magnetic saturation region could be explained satisfactorily allowing for the relative orientation of the sublattices and for their susceptibilities in an external magnetic field.
