    The results of measurements of Kerr constant in castor oil, obtained by dynamic-polarimetric method are presented. Variable optical path length and four measurement setup configurations were used. They differed by the orientation of polarizer and of quarterwave plate and therefore they were non-equivalent when other, unwanted effects occurred. It was shown that the Kerr constant measurement performed with use of only one system configuration and one length of optical path may be strongly affected by other effects, however taking the arithmetic mean of two results obtained from appropriate system configurations significantly reduces this error. Theoretical dependences were fitted to the experimental results, which allowed for approximation of other constants, like dichroism, linear birefringence and optical activity induced by external electric field (electrogyration).

    Modulation technique used for measurement of very weak linear birefringence and dichroism in liquids on the example of castor oil between metal electrodes.
    (Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2014) Izdebski, Marek; Ledzion, Rafał
    A technique for measurement of very weak linear birefringence of the order of 10-7and dichroism in liquids is proposed. The method is based on the polarimetric technique. A characteristic feature is that the experimental setup enables the measurement of linear birefringence combined with electro-optic effect as well as the measurement of dichroism combined with electro-optic effect. The combination of the effect which does not show rapid changes with the effect which depends on alternating electric field allows to improve the sensitivity of the method (in comparison to the earlier static method). This was achieved by use of lock-in amplifier that measures only the selected harmonic with very high selectivity. The theoretical considerations are illustrated by the results of measurements for castor oil.
