On the basis of studies of the piezo-optic effect, it has been shown that SrB_4O_7 crystals
can be used as efficient acousto-optic materials in the vacuum ultraviolet spectral range. The …

Relations between the topological charge l of the optical vortex and the topological strength
s of the nematic defect generating it are discussed. A voltage-driven effect switching the …

A recently proposed technique representing a combination of digital imaging laser
interferometry with a classical four-point bending method is applied to a canonical nonlinear …

We determine full matrices of piezo-optic and elasto-optic coefficients for lead germanate
crystals, Pb_5Ge_3O_11, using Dixon–Cohen and interferometric methods. Two different …

A new technique is suggested for determination of piezooptic coefficients, which represents
a combination of digital imaging laser interferometry and a canonical four-point bending …

We have shown that a high-accuracy torsion method recently developed by the authors for
measuring piezo-optic coefficients allows determining not only the absolute value of the …

We report the results of comprehensive studies of the piezo-optic and elasto-optic effects in
lithium tetraborate crystals, Li_2B_4O_7. The full matrices of piezo-optic and elasto-optic …

We develop and describe analytically a torsion method for measuring piezooptic coefficients
associated with shear stresses. It is shown that the method enables to increase significantly …

For the first time, to the best of our knowledge, we have experimentally determined all of the
components of the piezo-optic tensor for monoclinic crystals. This has been implemented on …

A technique developed recently for determining piezo-optic coefficients (POCs) of isotropic
optical media, which represents a combination of digital imaging laser interferometry and a …
