As [Les] explains, the Kerr effect uses a high-voltage field to rapidly ... supplies we’ve seen him build before for his nitrogen laser. A pair of polarizing filters go on either end of the ...

In this study, the team successfully synthesized high-quality two-dimensional CrVI 6 single crystals and conducted precise micro-area magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) measurements. Remarkably ...

Researchers have now demonstrated this effect using single-cycle terahertz pulses — instead of optical pulses — in a variety of liquids. In a laser system, the Kerr effect can be used to ...
