Abstract
The relaxation kinetics of the supercooled liquid salol is investigated using the optical Kerr effect. The Kerr intensity profile versus time is found to decay with two components. The mechanism responsible for this effect is attributed to the nonlinear index of refraction arising from the electronic cloud distortion and molecular reorientational motion of the salol molecules.Keywords
