Measurement of the Cotton Mouton effect of water vapour

arXiv:1311.3316 · doi:10.1016/j.cplett.2013.12.049

Abstract

In this paper we report on a measurement of the Cotton Mouton effect of water vapour. Measurement performed at room temperature ($T=301$ K) with a wavelength of 1064 nm gave the value $Δn_u = (6.67 \pm 0.45) \cdot 10^{-15}$ for the unit magnetic birefringence (1 T magnetic field and atmospheric pressure).
