Abstract

The Pockels coefficient of the chiral nonlinear optical crystal was measured in a longitudinal electro-optic configuration. The presence of the optical activity (the linear optical property) in a chiral system facilitates the measurement of the Pockels coefficients (related to the second order nonlinear optical property) with a low modulation voltage, important in the practical applications.
