Temperature dependence of the electro-optic Kerr coefficient of nitrobenzene

Abstract
The Kerr coefficient of nitrobenzene was measured over the temperature range 285–340 K. To within experimental error, the data indicate that the Kerr coefficient can be expressed as a quadratic function of reciprocal temperature. Fitting the data to this quadratic function yields an equation which can be used to correct the response of a pulse-voltage measuring system based on the Kerr effect for variations in the ambient temperature.
