Title: Die Erzeugung sehr kurzer und intensiver UV-Lichtimpulse
Abstract: A KERR cell controlled spark light source for the production of 5 · 10 -9 sec light pulses is described. The quartz ultraviolet region down to 1900 Ā wavelength may be transmitted using water as KERR cell liquid. Some properties of a water filled KERR cell are discussed. The KERR constant is found to be 10 · 10 7 esu at wavelengths between 2100 and 3000 Ā.
