Abstract
The linear electro-optic effect is investigated in films of RFeO3 compounds (R = Y, Lu, Yb) possessing hexagonal symmetry. A general equation for the optical indicatrix of the film at arbitrary orientation of an external electric field is derived. The equation of the indicatrix in the principal axes, as well as the principal refractive indices, are determined for the particular case of an external electric field orientation along the [010] axis. Two novel optical axes are identified in the presence of an electric field. It was determined that two isonormal modes propagate in the film when light propagates along the [100] direction. The refractive indices associated with these modes were also found. The phase shift associated with the propagation of these modes and caused by the presence of an electric field is calculated. The shift is linear along the electric field, thereby demonstrating the Pockels effect.
期刊介绍：
The Physics of Metals and Metallography (Fizika metallov i metallovedenie) was founded in 1955 by the USSR Academy of Sciences. Its scientific profile involves the theory of metals and metal alloys, their electrical and magnetic properties, as well as their structure, phase transformations, and principal mechanical properties. The journal also publishes scientific reviews and papers written by experts involved in fundamental, application, and technological studies. The annual volume of publications amounts to some 250 papers submitted from 100 leading national scientific institutions.
