Electric birefringence measurements were carried out in sodium di-2-ethylhexylsulfosuccinate(AOT)-water-dodecane(decane), water/oil microemulsions, along different concentration paths. The Kerr constant as a function of watercore droplet radius or the water volume fraction have been determined. This

β¦ Synopsis
We consider the effect of a static field on the average orientation of a "charged dumbbell" made of two bound droplets bearing one electron charge on its waist, and the Kerr effects resulting from this orientation. A negative contribution is found which may be dominant in some conditions.

The hyperpolarizability of Hz has been detcrtnined from measurements of the dc Kerr effect for Hz gas at T= 25Β°C and A =632.8 nm. The result ofthese measurements, y"= (4.48+0.05) x 1O-62 C4 m4 JJs (y"= 719+ 7 au), is in fair agreement with the result ofthe most recent ab initio calculation for Hz, y
## Abstract The electric field in a single mode, YAG laser beam has been used to induce orientational birefringence in solutions of tobacco rattle virus, DNA, heparin, and hyaluronic acid. Using this laser in its βfixedβ__Q__β mode, laser pulses were generated which persisted for up to 200 ΞΌsec in
