We have measured both electric birefringence and polarization-resolved static light scattering at visible wave-lengths in highly oriented aqueous suspensions of shaped microparticles. In these experiments the microparticles were oriented by a high-frequency electric field, and saturation effects were clearly observed in both the Kerr effect and light scattering. The transient dynamics of the Kerr effect was studied and a field-dependent medium response time measured.
