Measurement of the Quadratic Electro-optic Coefficient of Organic Polymer Based on Attenuated-total-reflection Technique
The Quadratic Electro-optic (QEO) coefficient is a very important parameter in the evaluation of the QEO effect of the organic polymer,which could be expressed as a 6×6 tensor.By the utilization of the symmetric characteristic of the tensor,algebra relation between the elements in the tensor and refraction index ellipsoid equation,an approach base on Attenuated-total-reflection (ATR) technology was proposed for the measurement of the QEO coefficient of the organic polymer.In the measurement,elements S11and S12in the tensor could be obtained by choosing TM mode and TE mode respectively as the polarization mode of the incident light beam.Then,S44and DC Kerr Coefficient could be calculated using the known algebra relation equation.Consequently,the value of all elements in the QEO coefficient tensor is obtained.
