This effect allows perovskite to be used for photon-induced electric field poling and can also be used as a shutter for Q switching in a laser.
The 18-coefficient tensor used for calculations of this effect can be simplified to 4 independent values if Kleinman symmetry is present, and it is most complex in the case of triclinic crystals. This effect allows perovskite to be used for photon-induced electric field poling and can also be used as a shutter for Q switching in a laser. Cells that utilize this effect are most often created with potassium dehydrogenated phosphate or lithium niobate. Those cells will cause polarization rotation if they are not aligned parallel or perpendicular to the light beam, and are used in voltage-controlled retarders. For 10 points, identify this effect in which an electric field creates a linearly proportional birefringence, unlike the similar but quadratically proportional Kerr Effect.
