Direction of the strongest electro-optic effect in crystals of different classes

V. N. Parygin, R. S. Timershanova


Abstract: A general method is proposed for finding the extremal directions of the electro-optic effect. The optimal directions are calculated for crystals belonging to the classes $\overline4$2m, 422, 4m m, 4, 6, $\overline 6$, 6m m, $\overline 6$m2, and 622.
