Characterization technique of crystalline materials for most efficient their application as active element of electro-optic cell in infocommunication systems

In this work we present the experimental technique suitable for the determination of all the linear electro-optic effect (LEOE) tensor components in crystal materials of any symmetry. We describe in details the sample geometries that are needed to determine a complete set of the LEOE tensor components as well as derive the corresponding equations. It gives a possible to perform the electro-optic characterization for all crystalline materials with aim of most efficient their application as active elements of electro-optic cells for infocommunication systems.
