Abstract :
The paper presents a theoretical analysis and experimental verification of the environmental, in particular temperature effects in electro-optic sensor with cubic and naturally birefringent sensing crystals. New compensation methods, based on an optimal optical alignment, have been proposed and experimentally verified
