Abstract
An apparatus permitting high accuracy measurements of fast variation of birefringence in various media has been built using the following principle. A feedback loop cancels automatically the corresponding rotation of the light polarization vector by a calibrated voltage change applied to a KDP crystal. It has been used to measure the optical damage effect in electro‐optic crystals such as LiNbO3.Keywords
