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
