Kerr - June 27, 2016

We can say within this data the pick-off of the 8% of light from the green light laser indicates there is no major effect in the recorded values of power post-analyzer. Even though the power may dwindle or slightly increase, it is negligible.

In fact, even as the pick-off reading decreases in the +B data set we see an increase in signal power of the Kerr power meter so either the Kerr effect is increasing the light even more than reported or the pick-off data is negligibly affecting the readings. In this case the latter seems more suitable.

In Kerr - June 24, 2016 we see the rotations correlating to power readings and from these data points, I believe we can say we are seeing the Kerr effect in action.
