Abstract

Using selective optical excitation under high dc fields, ${F}_{A}$ centers were aligned with respect to their optical-absorption tensors and microscopic inversion asymmetry. This ordering process removes the macroscopic inversion symmetry of the crystal, allowing the measurement of first-order electro-optical effects in the ${F}_{A}$ absorption. The analysis of the linear Stark effect provides information about size and sign of the dipolemoment difference between ground and excited ${F}_{A}$ states.
