title: New Kerr cell for low-temperature measurements.
abstract: A Kerr cell has been constructed which can be used to study the Kerr effect in liquids from room temperature down to 77 K. At low temperatures, the cell windows are free of moisture. The cell has been tested and measurements on liquid carbon disulfide, between 170 and 300 K, are discussed.
