Abstract
THE modulation of light trains by high frequency oscillations acting on a Kerr cell has been experimentally verified by Rupp (Zeit. für Phy., Bd. 47) for the thallium resonance line. The results found by him seemed to agree well with the supposition that the wave form of frequency σ could be represented by an infinite wave train which would be split up into three wave trains of frequency σ + T, t, and σ T, where T is the frequency of the high frequency oscillations. However, results found by me and described below indicate that the modulations may depend on the form of the light impulse.
