The Kerr effect experiment is relatively simple, there is really only one set of data to be collected and each data run only takes up to an hour.
The huge issue with this experiment is the alignment of the optical elements, as with any optics experiment. Even when you align the setup as best as you can, there will be a couple of discrepancies with your obtained data and what is expected.
Here are my report and data:

Apparently, attributing the temperature dependence of PLZT birefringence in absence of an electric field is not enough to explain the discrepancy in half-wave voltage measured.
