The method is applied to various solids and liquids. The effective femtosecond response time of the optical Kerr effect in benzene and methanol is determined. %G English %L hal-00465615 %U https://polytechnique.hal.science/hal-00465615 %~ X %~ ENSTA %~ CNRS %~ X-LOA %~ X-DEP %~ X-DEP-PHYS %~ PARISTECH %~ ENSTA_LOA
