Kerr Effect Experiment Kit

Description

Kerr Effect Experiment Setup | Zodiac Overseas

Product Description:

Explore the electro-optic Kerr effect using our Kerr Cell Experiment Setup, designed for advanced physics laboratories and educational institutions. This comprehensive setup allows students and researchers to observe and quantify the Kerr effect in a nitrobenzene medium using a high-voltage electric field.

The kit is ideal for demonstrating:

• Double refraction in liquids under an electric field
• Intensity variation of transmitted light as a function of applied voltage

Key Features:

• High-quality Kerr Cell with precision mounting
• High Voltage Power Supply (0 – 6 kV) for controlled electric field application
• 1.0 mW Diode Laser with stable beam for optical alignment
• Pair of Polarizing Filters (Polarizer and Analyzer)
• Photo Detector with Digital Multimeter connectivity for accurate voltage-intensity readings
• Designed for Dark Room Observations
• Easy alignment and user-friendly configuration

Experiments Covered:

1. Demonstration of Kerr Effect in nitrobenzene (visual observation).
2. Quantitative Study of light intensity vs. voltage using photo detection.
