Electro optics effects are important
branches of nonlinear optics. In this
research olive oil has been chosen to study
its electro optical properties. Olive oil as an
organic compound has a centro symmetric
molecular structure which means that it has
quadratic electro optical properties
represented by Kerr effect. These electro
optical properties such as transmittance
versus applied voltage and birefringence
versus the square value of the applied
electric field were measured. These
properties are obtained for the two types of
olive oil (virgin and refined) by analyzing
of these properties, the Kerr constant and
Kerr coefficient for two types of olive oil
have been found at different wavelengths.
