The Pockels effect was studied in TmAl sub(3)(BO sub(3)) sub( 4) crystal. The electro-optic coefficient of the compound was determined. The principal refractive indexes of the crystal were determined by measuring the Brewster angles. Both contributions to the electric field induced birefringence ass...
