Measurement of the Electro-Optic Coefficients In Electro-Optic Crystals using Compensated Sénarmont System

lectro-optic crystal have received considerable attention for many application due to their large electro-optic (EO) and nonlinear optical coefficients . Several techniques have been designed for the characterization of the electro-optic properties of bulk samples [. The disadvantage of these systems are that it require a high ac modulated voltage (up to 300 Vp-p) and the material be made with a large EO coefficients.
