Abstract

This paper presents a new system for stress analysis, electro-optic modulation. The optical retardation resulting from stress is compensated for by induced birefringence in an electro-optic crystal under an applied voltage. When the compensation is complete the modulation signal changes, which signals that the measurement is complete. The sensitivity of measurement is higher than for other methods, easily less than λ/10000.
