Abstract

The electric field-induced deformations and alignment contributions to Kerr constant in attractive-type inverted microemulsion systems are reviewed, especially a recent droplet pair model accounting for the observed sign reversal. Experimental measurements of the components of the complex Kerr constant B*(2ω), from phase electric birefringence approach, in the spectral range 102–2 107 Hz, have been performed at room temperature from two series w 0=7.3 (B k negative) and w 0=25 (B k positive) of the system water/benzyl n-hexadecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (BHDC)/benzene as a function of the volume fraction. The results so far clearly strengthen, in a qualitative way, the proposed droplet pair model.
