Usually can the change of refractive that the electric birefringence crystal causes under the effect of electric field outside be represented with following formula:
n=n
0+aE+bE
2+......(1)
Wherein a, b are constant, n
0Refractive index when being E=0.The effect of the variations in refractive index that is caused by aE once is called electrooptical effect or electrooptical effect, also claims bubble Ke Ersi (Pockels) effect.An electrooptical effect only is present in eicosanoid not to be had in the crystal at symmetrical center.By quadratic term bE
2The effect of the variations in refractive index that causes is called quadratic electro-optical effect and also claims quadratic electro-optic effect or Ke Er (Kerr) effect, and quadratic electro-optical effect then possibly be present in any material, and the electrooptical effect of liquid crystal belongs to quadratic electro-optical effect.A general electrooptical effect is significant more than quadratic electro-optical effect.
Electrooptical effect is analyzed with the variation of index ellipsoid usually, and the index ellipsoid equation of crystal when added electric field not is:

After crystal applied electric field, its index ellipsoid equation became:
Since external electric field, each coefficient (1/n of index ellipsoid
2) linear change takes place thereupon, its variable quantity may be defined as
γ in the formula
IjBe called linear electro-optic coefficient; I value 1 ..., 6; J value 1,2,3.
An electrooptical effect of electric birefringence crystal is divided into longitudinal electro-optic effect and cross electro-optical effect.Longitudinal electro-optic effect is to be added in the electrooptical effect that direction of an electric field on the electric birefringence crystal produces when parallel with the direction of propagation of light in the electric birefringence crystal; Cross electro-optical effect is to be added in the electrooptical effect that direction of an electric field on the electric birefringence crystal produces when vertical with the direction of propagation of light in the electric birefringence crystal; Observe longitudinal electro-optic effect potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) crystal commonly used and carry out, and lithium niobate (LiNbO

51Can get the index ellipsoid equation of lithium columbate crystal behind extra electric field thus is:
Lithium columbate crystal adopts 45 °-z cutting, along x axle or the pressurization of y axle, and the operational mode of the logical light of z direction of principal axis, when on the main shaft x direction of principal axis during extra electric field, promptly transverse electric field has E
z=E
y=0, crystal main shaft x, y will rotate, and (5) formula becomes:
Because of γ

x<<1, so respective items can be ignored, through coordinate transform, the principal refractive index that can obtain on three induction main shaft x ', y ', the z ' (still on the z direction) becomes shown in (14) formula.
Wherein lithium columbate crystal becomes biaxial crystal, and the direction and the thickness of its index ellipsoid z axle remain unchanged basically, and x, the y cross section is n by radius
0Become ellipse, the oval original relatively x y axle of major and minor axis direction x ' y ' has rotated 45 °, and the size of corner and the size of extra electric field are irrelevant, and oval length n
