Abstract :
The r33T and r31T electro-optic coefficients of congruent and quasistoichiometric LiNbO 3 have been measured with a precision better than 1% within the range 458 nm-1.04 μm. The method has revealed a wavelength dependence with differences between both coefficients and both LiNbO3 compositions
