Abstract
We propose a polarization interferometry technique to measure the electro-optic coefficient in an optically active system. The technique makes use of the interference of two polarization states of the incident beam after experiencing both the electro-optic phase modulation and the optical rotation in the Bi/sub 12/SO/sub 20/ crystal.
