Kerr - June 14, 2016

---

• I found two incredible resources to help me navigate through the math behind the Kerr effect
  • http://people.bath.ac.uk/vkv23/English/RechercheT0.htm
  • http://www.study-on-line.co.uk/whoami/thesis/chap2.html
• I spent some time reading these
• I plan on presenting the mathematical explanation of the Kerr effect possibly at the next GTS meeting?

• I measured some more power values with the 1/2 wave plate and the 1/4 Wave Plate

• Next I need to determine the resolution of the magnets with the iron foil
  • When is the magnetization noticed by leaking light through the analyzer?
  • How much of a rotation can I attain?
