Abstract
We have used the Raman‐induced Kerr effect to normalize the optical Kerr constants of several liquids to their corresponding Raman matrix elements. The electronic contribution to the Kerr constant was similarly normalized using three‐wave mixing.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
