Abstract
TiO20. The first two can be measured by simple and classical methods, but the coexistence of optical activity, electrogyration, field-induced linear birefringence, and piezoelectric and photoelastic effects in photorefractive materials such as Bi12TiO20 complicate the measurement of the electro-optic coefficient. For normal incidence of linearly polarized light we derive analytic expressions for the polarization of light that has passed through the crystal. The ellipticity of the polarization is a function of the electric-field-induced linear birefringence and hence of the electro-optic coefficient of the crystal. Therefore measurement of the ellipticity as a function of an electric field externally applied to the crystal leads to an electro-optic coefficient r41 of 5.3±0.1 pm/V.
