Abstract

The quadratic electro-optic effect in K0.95Na 0.05Ta1-xNbxO3 crystals near the Curie temperature was investigated. Both the electro-optic coefficients |R 11| and |R12| decreased rapidly as the temperature increased beyond the Curie point. Interestingly, the ratio |R 11/R12| increased. The polar nanoregions found in K 0.95Na0.05Ta1-xNbxO3 crystals near the Curie temperature are believed to be responsible for this effect. A phenomenological model is proposed to analyze the impact of these polar nanoregions on the quadratic electro-optic effect.
