摘要：
The electrooptic effect in lithium niobate crystals (LiNbO3) for extremely high externally applied electric fields of up to 65 kV/mm is investigated. Homogeneous electrooptic refractive-index changes of up to 4.8 x 10(-3) are found for ordinarily polarized light. No quadratic electrooptic effect is observed. An upper bound for the quadratic electrooptic coefficient of \s(13)\ less than or equal to 2.3 x 10(-21) m(2)/V-2 is determined. Electrooptic, angular, and wavelength tuning of the Bragg condition of a thermally fixed hologram are demonstrated.
