Continuous Measurements of Electric Field Vector Distribution in a Liquid Insulator using Kerr Effect

Abstract

We have already reported on reconstructions of symmetrical and nonsymmmetrical electric field vector distribution using Kerr electrooptic effect and our unique reconstruction method modified computed tomography technique. This reconstruction technique gives electric field map, i. e., the strength and the direction of electric field vector, on any plane. If electric field distribution is obtained continuously with time, the measutement of electric field distribution is more useful. So we try time series measurement of electric field distribution.
