✦ Synopsis

The Kerr constant (&-) of deionized liquid water was measured in the temperature range from 280 K to 350 K using 2 w duration electric pulse fields up to 50 kV cm -I _ The value of BT has been determined as 2.92 X lo-l4 mV_' at 298 K. Results indicate a steady decrease in the value of the Kerr constant with the rise of temperature.
