Abstract

All components of the linear electro-optic tensor [r σ ijk] (unclamped) of low-temperature BaB2O4 and the liner electrostrictive tensor [d ijk] were determined (T= 293 K; λ= 633 nm). In its electro-optic and electrostrictive behaviour low-temperature BaB2O4 resembles the tetraborates Li2B4O7 and PbB4O7. The maximum value of the longitudinal and transversal electro-optic effects is only one fourth of that in KDP. This reduces the importance of BaB2O4 for electro-optic applications.
