electro-optic effect

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.08807
Change in the optical properties of a material in response to a change in an external electric field strength.
Notes:
  1. Changes in the absorption coefficient, color, refractive index, permittivity or optical activity of a material are typical examples of electro-optic effects.
  2. Electro-optic is not a synonym for optoelectronic.
