Abnormal behaviors were observed in magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) in both as-grown and annealed Ga0.95Mn0.05As/InGaAs epilayer, as the direction of magnetization vector turns away from or toward the direction of incident beam by applying a magnetic field. Following the mean-field theory of magnetocrystalline anisotropy, it is found that the phenomena are actually the manifestation of the influence of the magnetic anisotropy on interband optical transitions due to the dependence of hole band splitting and warp of E-k dispersion relation on the magnetization orientation.
