Abstract
Systematic measurements of optically induced birefringence in some optically active solutions are reported. Relative Kerr constants, refractive indices and densities of the solutions under study were measured at room temperature for a wide range of their concentrations. The absolute and molar Kerr constants as well as the specific Kerr constant were calculated as a function of the volume fraction. From these data the microscopic parameters of the samples such as mean polarizability, anisotropic factors, optical polarizability, orientation function and orientation parameter were found.
