Abstract
Electrostatic stresses that can influence the observed signal with stress-optical constants form a contribution to the quadratic electro-optic (Kerr) effect measured at low frequencies. A new formula is proposed to correct for the influence of these stresses in order to obtain the true Kerr constant.
