Improved equipment for measurements of the electrooptical Kerr effect in gases is described, and a study of carbon dioxide over a range of temperatures ({approx}299-490 K) and pressures ({approx}100-1000 kPa) is reported. Analysis of the temperature dependence of the effect yields definitive values for the second Kerr hyperpolarizability (10{sup 60}{gamma}{sup K}/C m{sup 4} V{sup {minus}3} = 0.125 {plus minus} 0.032) and the static polarizability anisotropy (10{sup 40}{Delta}{alpha}{degree}/C m{sup 2} V{sup {minus}1} = 2.41 {plus minus} 0.08) of the carbon dioxide molecule, and these are compared with discordant results from other sources.
