Second-order electro-optic effect in diamond.

Observation of a second-order electrooptic effect in diamond, leading to the determination of an order of magnitude for the appropriate second-order electrooptic coefficient of diamond. A linear effect, forbidden by symmetry, is also observed and attributed to random residual strains, an average estimate of which is obtained as .00001 for the particular sample used in this experiment. Birefringence due to second-order dispersion effects is also discussed.
