Two bulk mechanisms for the quantum-confined version of this effect complement an interface-based mechanism as the value of the envelope function changes, thereby changing the value of the overlap integral.
Two bulk mechanisms for the quantum-confined version of this effect complement an interface-based mechanism as the value of the envelope function changes, thereby changing the value of the overlap integral. Zinc oxide wurtzite-like crystalline films demonstrate a "giant" form of this effect, (*) which has been observed in water at the EDL, or electric double layer, on the interface between the water and an electrode. This effect is used in materials like potassium titanyl phosphate to make namesake modulators found in Q-switching lasers, since they serve as voltage-controlled wave plates; those cells require a smaller voltage than analogous constructs using nitrotoluene. This effect may only occur in crystals that lack an inversion center, unlike the closely analogous Kerr effect. For 10 points, name this phenomenon, which occurs when an electric field induces a linear, not quadratic, birefringence.
