Abstract :
In order to understand electrooptic effects in single crystals or ceramic materials, it is necessary to know the optimum field distribution and to accurately determine the electrooptic parameters, including the half-wave voltage applied, so that accurate electrooptic coefficients can be obtained. For this purpose, three computational methods have been used: Green´s function, iteration, and summary representation. The principle of the method of summary representations is described. Field distributions and electrooptic effects in ceramic bulk and thin-film materials have been calculated using this method. The method has been used to treat problems in PLZT (lead lanthanum zirconate titanate) bulk and thin-film displays/spatial light modulators
