Abstract
An extensive set of Kerr electro-optic field mapping measurements are reported for highly purified water over the temperature range of 8.8–29.5 °C. The Kerr constant is independent of temperature over this range and equals B≂3.4×10−14 m/V2. Pulsed high voltages up to 140 kV across parallel cylindrical electrodes with a 1-cm gap are applied on millisecond time scales. For early times, the measured results agree with the space-charge-free electric field distribution while for times greater than 500 μsec, there is significant space-charge distortion due to positive charge injection.
