Abstract

Previous measurements of quadratic electrooptic coefficients in the KDP family of crystals have been analyzed. In addition, the quadratic electrooptic coefficient n_o³g₁₁₁₁-n_e³g₃₃₁₁ of KDP and ADP has been measured by means of the dynamic polarimetric method. The results obtained confirm that quadratic electrooptic coefficients of KDP-type crystals are of the order of magnitude of 10^-20 m²V². This is about 100 times smaller than values widely cited in the literature obtained by other authors employing the static polarimetric technique.
