Abstract
The structure of water in oil microemulsions has been investigated using transient electric birefringence. At low water concentrations, transient coalescence of droplets is observed. At higher water concentrations, the Kerr signal probes density fluctuations. A fast negative response is attributed to the relaxation of interfacial layers. Further work is under way to make these preliminary results more quantitativeKeywords
