One of the most widely utilized physical properties in laser and photonic technologies is the electro-optic behavior of materials, characterized by their electro-optic coefficients. The electro-optic coefficient quantifies a material's ability to alter its optical properties in response to an applied electric field. When light passes through an electro-optic crystal subjected to an electric field, light modulation can be controlled with high speed and precision in accordance with the crystal’s electro-optic coefficient. This property facilitates applications such as light control, frequency conversion, and the generation and amplification of short laser pulses. In this study, the electro-optic coefficient of the nonlinear beta barium borate (β-BaB₂O₄) crystal is determined by applying quarter-wave and half-wave voltages in an intensity modulator setup. It will also be demonstrated that this configuration serves as an effective method for the precise measurement of half-wave and quarter-wave voltages in Pockels cells.
