A pulse method is proposed for measuring Kerr's effect as produced by a single saw-form electric field pulse of a duration of 5 × 10 -5 sec. The method served for investigating the electro-optical birefringence of liquids whose conductivity was so high as to rule out the use of static methods of measurement. Kerr's constant was measured in o-nitrotoluene, m-nitrotoluene and nitrobenzene, these liquids presenting a conductivity ranging from 10 -7 to 4 × 10 -11 Ω -1 cm -1 .
