This survey of 13 electrooptic materials includes both a review and compilation of all materials properties relevant to their use in linear (Pockels) electrooptic modulator applications. Information on actual electrooptic modulator design as well as applications for these materials, and data on materials exhibiting a quadratic (Kerr) electrooptic effect, are not included. With these restrictions in mind, every attempt was made to be as comprehensive as possible by utilizing all available sources of literature: books, periodicals, reports, and vendor literature. The files of the Electronic Properties Information Center and full resources of the Hughes Aircraft Company Library were searched for pertinent data, and approximately 1000 articles were reviewed for this pUblication. A brief Introduction to the survey is followed by a description of the Prin- ciples of Electrooptic Modulation, emphasizing the importance of crystal symmetry on the electrooptic properties of materials, and including the relationships between the electrooptic, piezooptic, elastooptic and piezoelectric effects in crystals. The survey consists of 13 independent sections, each section covering the properties of one material: crystallographic, optical, electrooptic, photoelastic, piezoelectric, dielectric and thermal. References appearing in the text are listed at the conclusion of each section. Tables and Figures are numbered separately for each section. v TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION . * ...1 PRINCIPLES OF ELECTROOPTIC MODULATION. 5 AMMONIUM DIHYDROGEN ARSENATE (ADA) . 15 AMMONIUM DIHYDROGEN PHOSPHATE (ADP).

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Cover nicked & creased. All text clean. Exlibrary book with usual stamps & other marking This specialized volume provides a comprehensive survey of 13 electrooptic materials used in linear (Pockels effect) modulators. It compiles data from books, periodicals, reports, and vendor literature to present a detailed reference for engineers and physicists. The book focuses exclusively on linear electrooptic effects, excluding quadratic (Kerr) effects, and emphasizes material properties rather than device design. Ideal For Electrical engineers and physicists working on electrooptic modulators. Researchers in optics and materials science studying nonlinear optical properties. Graduate students in applied physics or electrical engineering. Collectors of rare Springer technical monographs. Why It Matters Scientific significance: Provides one of the earliest systematic compilations of electrooptic material properties. Historical context: Reflects the state of optical modulator research in the early 1970s. Technical depth: Includes extensive data tables and references, making it a valuable resource even today. Scarcity: Original Springer hardcovers are uncommon; most available copies are softcover reprints. Seller Inventory # ABE-1791939684128
