Magneto-Optical Kerr effects The Longitudinal Kerr Effect with incident radiation Polarised in the S-Plane The effect is simple and occurs for radiation incident in the P-plane (E-vector parallel to the plane of incidence) or the S-Plane (E-vector perpendicular to the plane of incidence). It is convention to refer to effects in reflection as Kerr effects and in transmission as Faraday effects. www.qub.ac.uk /mp/con/magnetics_group/magnetoptics.html

Alex Browning (Devon Sawa) and his entire high school class are bound for a trip to Paris, but just before the plane takes off, Alex has a horrifying premonition of the plane exploding. When the plane then explodes as predicted, Alex and the other teens must deal with the guilt of having escaped death while their friends perished. www.buy.com /prod/q/loc/40142116.html   (772 words)

Final Destination (2000): Devon Sawa, Ali Larter, Kerr Smith, Chad Donella, Seann William Scott - PopMatters Film Review The story essentially follows the guilt, fear, and madness increasingly shaping the lives of several high students who get off a Paris-bound plane — due to a portentous vision (an exploding plane that is very scary) and ensuing hysteria from our boy Alex — and then watch the thing blow up just after takeoff. Naturally, the kids — generalized geeks Alex and Tod, jock Billy, dark-haired-post-punk-witchy girl Clear Rivers (Varsity Blues' whipped cream girl, Ali Larter), psycho boy Carter Horton (Kerr Smith), and his perfect blond girlfriend Terry (Amanda Detmer) — and their teacher, Miss Lewton, are afraid. They feel standard issue survivors' guilt (Miss Lewton weeps to a friend that she should have stayed on the plane rather than sending her colleague to his death). www.popmatters.com /film/reviews/f/final-destination.shtml   (1174 words)

Kerr metric - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is particularly interesting, because the global structure of this CPW solution is quite different from that of the Kerr vacuum, and in principle, an experimenter could hope to study the geometry of (the outer portion of) the Kerr interior by arranging the collision of two suitable gravitational plane waves. The interior of the Kerr vacuum, or rather a portion of it, is locally isometric to the Chandrasekhar/Ferrari CPW vacuum, an example of a colliding plane wave model. In particular, the quadrupole moment of the Kerr vacuum vanishes; in this sense, it is the simplest rotating and stationary asympotically flat vacuum. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Kerr_solution   (835 words)

Bio, Kerr, Michael S. Kerr did not see Welch bail out, but observed the plane impact and explode on the side of a hill. Kerr wondered if he also found Welch or brought out dog tags, if Welch had died. Welch and Kerr didn't return home together; Kerr was released in 1973, Welch was not. www.pownetwork.org /bios/k/k012.htm   (835 words)

Session A24 - Magnetic Structure. The film's magnetostatic response to a swept in-plane magnetic field is also measured with both Kerr effects simultaneously, yielding values for the anisotropy field that correspond to each effect. For the dynamic measurement, the film is initially set to a fixed in-plane magnetization direction by a dc external field and then is exposed to a field impulse from a current through a coplanar microwave transmission line. In the temperature region between 20K and 132K, holmium is a spiral anti-ferromagnet with the wave-vector, tau, of the spiral increasing from 0.16 to 0.28 reciprocal lattice units with increasing temperature. flux.aps.org /meetings/YR00/MAR00/abs/S240.html   (1914 words)

Patent 5493220: Magneto-optic Kerr effect stress sensing system The sensing system of claim 1 wherein said magneto-optic Kerr effect stress sensor includes at least one magnetic layer having an in-plane uniaxial magnetic anisotropy and at least one magnetic domain having a magnetization that rotates coherently in response to an externally applied stress. In general, since the magnetooptic Kerr effect is non-reciprocal in nature the polarization conversion from the primary polarizer to the signal polarization would have a reversed sign for this return path, leading to a smaller total signal polarization. The sensing system of claim 1 wherein said magneto-optic Kerr effect stress sensor includes a plurality of layers wherein at least one of said plurality of layers is a magnetic thin film. www.freepatentsonline.com /5493220.html   (1914 words)

Kerr Cell The electro-optic effect was utilised in early television instruments as a means of modulating a beam of light electrically; one of the present day applications is in the field of high speed photography where a Kerr cell is used as the shutter, giving speeds as short as 100 nanoseconds. Kerr applied the output from an induction coil to two metal probes inserted in the holes, to observe this effect. The magnetic effect showed that a rotation of the plane of polarisation of light occured on reflection from the polished pole of a magnet. www.elec.gla.ac.uk /groups/opto/Kerr.html   (1914 words)

5.5 Circular orbit with a small inclination from the equatorial plane around a Kerr black hole Next, we consider a particle in a circular orbit with small inclination from the equatorial plane around a Kerr black hole [52]. The orbital plane of the particle precesses around the symmetry axis of the black hole, and the degree of precession is determined by the value of the Carter constant. is equal to the inclination angle from the equatorial plane. www.univie.ac.at /EMIS/journals/LRG/Articles/lrr-2003-6/articlesu21.html   (139 words)

Energy Citations Database (ECD) - Energy and Energy-Related Bibliographic Citations The polar and longitudinal Kerr effects are characterized by a complex rotation of the plane of polarization of linearly polarized incident light upon reflection from the surface of a ferromagnetic material. The surface magneto-optic Kerr effect (SMOKE) has significantly impacted research on magnetic thin films.

Surface Magneto Optic Kerr Effect (SMOKE) This diagram is the measurement of longitudinal Kerr Effect and the external field is in the plane of smaple. The theoretical explanation of the Kerr effect is that the index of refraction of the right-handed circularly polarized light and the index of refraction of the left-handed circularly polarized become different when a material is magnetized. The magnitude of the rotational angle of the Kerr effect for a ferromagnetic material is generally between 10E-4 to 10E-3 degrees, (although large rotation angle materials have been found in Tb-Fe-Co metal alloys (one degree) and uranium compounds (nine degrees)). www.rpi.edu /~wangg/smoke.html   (139 words)

westword.com News Under the Knife (Page 4) 1999-01-21 Simonton's case initially was scheduled for early 1997, not long before Kerr was set to go on a sabbatical in the Netherlands, where he'd polish his novel and observe the work of the Bosnia war crimes tribunal in The Hague. Although the characters are all fictitious, says Kerr, some of the events are based on experiences he's had in local courtrooms. This person, Baine Kerr, assaulted me by alleging that I had operated when it wasn't necessary, and he alleged that I operated just to make money. www.westword.com /Issues/1999-01-21/news/feature2_4.html   (139 words)

A Hidden Warp Drive Spacetime within the Kerr Spacetime? Generic representation of Kerr Spacetime in one dimension as viewed from the z plane, also note the horizons and singularity are not drawn to scale. If graphed the geometry of the Kerr geometry would somewhat resemble Figure 1 as seen below.

The collision radius and the Kerr solution does almost not differ from the Newtonian solution at all. One can say that the rotation of the black hole reduces the relativistic effects towards the equatorial plane, and the trajectories there can be described by the Newtonian approximation.

Patrick Nürnberger / State University of New York at Stony Brook Kerr Lens Effect : the intensity dependent index of refraction focuses an intense pulse to another focal plane than weak beams, thus a cavity is either optimized for continous wave or for modelocked operation This is a very convenient form of passive modelocking, where the gain medium itself has an intensity-dependent index of refraction and so modelocking can be done without any additional device. Passive Modelocking : a saturable absorbing element is brought into the cavity and is causing what has been described earlier: intense pulses become more intense, less intense parts vanish. grad.physics.sunysb.edu /~nuernber/Modelock.html   (953 words)

Kerr, John Kerr was born in Ardrossan, Ayrshire, and studied at Glasgow.

Theoretical background A Scottish physicist, John Kerr [10], discovered this effect in the latter part of the 19th century. Consequently, the reflection of polarized light from the surface of a magnetic material will in general be elliptically polarized even if the incident light is polarized parallel or perpendicular to the plane of incidence, thus carrying information of the magnetization of the material. This phenomenon is known as the magneto-optical (MO) Kerr effect and is used in magneto-optical recording systems. www.f.kth.se /~f93-jwe/theory.htm   (1198 words)

Optics This phenomenon is called the Kerr effect, after the British physicist John Kerr. If light occurs on a nonabsorbing medium at the so-called Brewster's angle, the reflectance of the factor vibrating parallel to the plane of occurrence is zero. The flexible bundles, which can be used to provide illumination as well as to transmit images, are valuable in medical examination, as they can be inserted into various openings. www.sciencebyjones.com /optics.htm   (4470 words)
