A general approach to the discussion of optical birefringence phenomena is presented. It is based on the S -matrix approach to photon scattering in a nonrelativistic quantum field theoretical formalism and the Stokes operator description of polarization. The use of a canonically transformed interact

## Abstract The optical birefringence induced in DNA solutions by both oscillating hydrodynamic fields (flow birefringence) and oscillating electric fields (Kerr effect) is measured over a wide frequency range. The observed frequency response of the birefrigence is compared with theories for rigid
## Abstract The electric birefringence of polyβLβlysine hydrobromide in methanolβwater mixtures has been measured at 25 Β°C over a wide range of field strengths by use of the rectangular pulse technique. An abrupt change in the specific Kerr constant was observed between 87 and 90 vol % methanol, co
