Optical measurement of non-uniform electric field vector distribution in a dielectric liquid using triplet measurement system [and reply]

The authors argue that the original paper by Ihori et al. ("Optical Measurement of Non-uniform Electric Field Vector Distribution in a Dielectric Liquid Using Triplet Measurement System", see ibid., vol. 9, p. 56-60, 2002) is misleading. The purpose of this communication is to point out the mis-statements and to identify the nature of the unstated approximations used in that work.
