Optical Modulation Electro-Optic EffectIndex of ellipsoid depicts orientation and magnitude of index of refraction of a material in a crystal.

Can be used to determine incoming polarization of a wave E-O controls the phase and intensity of light-wave E-field can alter the characteristics of the E-O effect Example: Optical Modulator operating at 1-1.6m wavelength for applications such as high-speed and widebandwidth optical communication systems and ultrafast information processing applications. Lower Driving power and higher interaction efficiency than Bulk Single crystals and transparent ceramics
