Abstract
We report measurements of the optical Kerr effect induced by -switched laser waves in some liquids, using an original experimental arrangement allowing easy measurements in weak anisotropic liquids. We compared the results obtained by this method to those deduced from our direct measurements of depolarized Rayleigh scattering. It is the first time that a good agreement has been found between these two effects, allowing precise determinations of apparent optical anisotropies.
