Kerr Rotation and Kerr Ellipticity are changes in the polarization of incident light which comes in contact with a gyromagnetic material.

A change in Kerr Rotation is most easily recognized in linearly polarized light, which can be separated into two Circularly polarized components: Left-Handed Circular Polarized ( LCP ) light and Right-Handed Circular Polarized ( RCP ) light.

The reflected light has a change in Kerr Rotation and Kerr Ellipticity which is measured by an analyzer and corresponds to either a logical 0 or 1.

Lavoisier's Traité élémentaire de chimie ( Elementary Treatise on Chemistry, 1789, translated into English by Scotsman Robert Kerr ) is considered to be the first modern chemistry textbook.

In the original Kerr Wyllie and Currie paper, British Journal of Cancer, 1972 Aug ; 26 ( 4 ): 239-57, there is a footnote regarding the pronunciation:

Through the work of Werner Israel, Brandon Carter, and David Robinson the no-hair theorem emerged, stating that a stationary black hole solution is completely described by the three parameters of the Kerr – Newman metric ; mass, angular momentum, and electric charge.

The most general stationary black hole solution known is the Kerr – Newman metric, which describes a black hole with both charge and angular momentum.

Following the retirement of Euan Kerr, Alan Digby is now Editor-in-Chief of both titles.

Disappearing event horizons exist in the Kerr metric, which is a spinning black hole in a vacuum.

Transforming the Kerr metric to Boyer-Lindquist coordinates, it can be shown that the coordinate ( which is not the radius ) of the event horizon is

* His rival is a bully named Cruncher Kerr named after the Beano editor at the time Euan Kerr.

An illustrative example is the Australian constitutional crises of 1975, when the Governor-General of Australia, Sir John Kerr, dismissed Prime Minister Gough Whitlam on his own reserve power authority and replaced him with Opposition Leader Malcolm Fraser.

** The film version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's The King and I, starring Deborah Kerr and Yul Brynner, is released only a few months after the film version of R & H's Carousel.

* Dismissal — some constitutions allow a Head of state ( or their designated representative, as is the case in Commonwealth countries ) to dismiss a Head of government, though its use can be controversial, as occurred in 1975 when then Australian Governor-General, Sir John Kerr, dismissed Prime Minister Gough Whitlam in the Australian Constitutional Crisis.

All materials display the Kerr effect, with varying magnitudes, but it is generally much weaker than the Pockels effect

In a Kerr cell, the change in birefringence is proportional to the square of the electric field, and the material is usually a liquid.

* Steve Kerr, former American professional basketball player who, according to Ali G, works on " TMT "; Kerr is a basketball analyst with U. S. cable network TNT.

However, there is also the non-linear Kerr effect: the refractive index of a material at a given frequency depends on the light's amplitude or strength.

Occupied Vienna is also colourfully depicted in the Philip Kerr novel, " A German Requiem.

The Kerr Metric, corresponding to a black hole of mass and angular momentum, can be used to derive the effective potential for particle orbits restricted to the equator ( as defined by rotation ).

* double Kerr vacuum ( two Kerr objects sharing the same axis of rotation, but held apart by unphysical zero active mass " cables " going out to suspension points infinitely removed ),

Thus, the relative rotation of the roundabout and universe masses creates a real physical distortion in spacetime that is visible to all observers ( see: Kerr black hole, frame-dragging, light-dragging effects ).

Since a point cannot support rotation or angular momentum in classical physics ( general relativity being a classical theory ), the minimal shape of the singularity that can support these properties is instead a ring with zero thickness but non-zero radius, and this is referred to as a ring singularity or Kerr singularity.

However in nonlinear media, such as some crystals, interactions can occur between light and static electric and magnetic fields — these interactions include the Faraday effect and the Kerr effect.

Using a less strict definition of the electro-optic effect allowing also electric fields oscillating at optical frequencies, one could also include nonlinear absorption ( absorption depends on the light intensity ) to category a ) and the optical Kerr effect ( refractive index depends on the light intensity ) to category b ).

After the tour, album recording sessions were interrupted by Kerr and Burchill ’ s decision to play live ( without Forbes, Taylor or Gaynor ) as part of the Proms tour ( a series of orchestral concerts featuring a mixture of light classical and pop music ).

This uses a nonlinear optical process, the optical Kerr effect, which results in high-intensity light being focussed differently than low-intensity light.

" Walter Kerr, then the Times ' Sunday critic, also reacted favorably to the show while calling attention to its nonsensical frivolity: he deemed it " light as a breeze, and just plain out of its head.

During reading, a laser projects a beam on the disk and, according to the magnetic state of the surface, the reflected light varies due to the Magneto-optic Kerr effect.

In order to demonstrate that a Kerr cell responds to an applied electric field in a few tens of microseconds, Blondlot, in collaboration with Ernest Bichat, adapted the rotating-mirror method that Léon Foucault had applied to measure the speed of light.

In 1928 Karolus & Mittelstaedt used a Kerr cell to modulate a beam of light to measure its speed.

Therefore a rod of an active Kerr medium works like a lens for high intensity light.

where λ is the wavelength of the light, K is the Kerr constant, and E is the strength of the electric field.

These are frequently used to modulate light, since the Kerr effect responds very quickly to changes in electric field.

The optical Kerr effect, or AC Kerr effect is the case in which the electric field is due to the light itself.

If this wave interacts with a material at which the horizontal component ( green sinusoid ) travels at a different speed than the vertical component ( blue sinusoid ), the two components will fall out of the 90 degree phase difference ( required for circular polarization ) changing the Kerr Ellipticity.

He immediately moved into first place with a. 461 ratio of 3-point shots made to shots attempted, moving ahead of Steve Kerr, who had the previous lifetime best at. 454.

In late 1965, Ransohoff finally gave Tate her first major role in a motion picture in the film Eye of the Devil, co-starring David Niven, Deborah Kerr, Donald Pleasence, and David Hemmings.

Other major waterways are the Illinois River and Robert S. Kerr Reservoir.

Kerrville is named after James Kerr, a major in the Texas Revolution, and friend of settler-founder Joshua Brown, who settled in the area to start a shingle-making camp.

The settlement was referred to as " Brownsborough ," but after the area was formally platted in 1856 by James Kerr, a major in the Texas Revolution, the settlement was formally known as " Kerrville " and maintained a county seat with Texas.

Cukor also feared casting a major star in the relatively small role would throw the picture off balance and draw attention away from leading lady Deborah Kerr.

With Kerr widely touted as a potential successor to Labour Leader Iain Gray, this was one of the major SNP victories of the election.

The valley through which the river flows is popular with trampers and is part of the Travers-Sabine tramping circuit, which follows a major portion of the river, starting from Kerr Bay at Saint Arnaud and, after crossing the Travers Saddle ( 1787 metres ), descends the valley of the Sabine River.

The appointment of Brian Kerr as manager in 1986 was a major turning point in the fortunes of the club.

For these reasons some claim that U. S. government pressure was a major factor in the dismissal of Whitlam as prime minister by the governor general, Sir John Kerr, who according to Boyce was referred to as our man Kerr by CIA officers.

The lowest score in relations to par recorded in an LPGA major championship was 19-under-par, by Dottie Pepper at the 1999 Kraft Nabisco Championship, Karen Stupples at the 2004 Women's British Open, Cristie Kerr at the 2010 LPGA Championship, and Yani Tseng at the 2011 LPGA Championship.

* US Women's Open at Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club ( Southern Pines, North Carolina ) – American Cristie Kerr wins her first major.

Since the 1880s, there has been growing study of the major writers of this idealist tradition of thought in international relations, including Sir Alfred Zimmern, Norman Angell, John Maynard Keynes, John A. Hobson, Leonard Woolf, Gilbert Murray, Florence Stawell ( known as Melian Stawell ), Philip Henry Kerr, 11th Marquess of Lothian, Arnold J. Toynbee, Lester Pearson and David Davies.

) As a result, the London Armoury Company become a major arms supplier to the Confederacy, selling the most of the 11, 000 Kerr revolvers produced to Huse.
