High accuracy Kerr effect measurement technique
نویسنده
چکیده
Apparatus and techniques are demonstrated which allow gas phase dc electro-optic Kerr effect measurements to be made with 0.1% absolute accuracy and nanoradian sensitivity. Measurements of the electric-field-induced birefringence of a gas are calibrated against a liquid Kerr cell, which is in turn calibrated absolutely in situ. Some of the problems addressed in this work are control of stray birefringence in order to obtain an extinction ratio below lo-“, a simple method for calibration of space charge effects in the CS, reference Kerr cell, construction of electrodes with accurately calculable fields, and an investigation of the sources of systematic errors and drifts and means to eliminate them.

Propagation Technique for Ultrashort Pulses II: Numerical Methods to Solve the Pulse Propagation Equation
We presented the numerical technique to approximately solve the pulse propagation equation. Two efficient methods for this problem, the Split-Step Fourier and the fourth order Runge-Kutta methods are considered. Their high accuracy are shown by comparison with analytical solutions in some particular situations. Our numerical experiments are implemented for soliton propagation and interacting hi...

Magnetic induction tomography (MIT) is a promising modality for noninvasive imaging due to its contactless technology. Being a non-contact safe imaging technique, MIT has been an appropriate method in compare to other electrical tomography. In this imaging method, a primary magnetic field is applied by excitation coils to induce eddy currents in the material to be studied and a secondary magnet...

Kerr electro-optic technique has been used to measure the electric field distribution in high voltage stressed dielectric liquids, where the difference between refractive indices for light polarized parallel and perpendicular to the local electric field is a function of the electric field intensity. For transformer oil, the most widely-used insulating liquids in power apparatus and high voltage...
