ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the authors attempt to select the most recent and reliable data; however, the reader should consult the original work to determine its reliability. The tables are intended to supplement the earlier version with both new materials and notable measurements on previously listed materials. The authors have tried to add only data which significantly depart from or complement an earlier listing. Although nonlinear optic coefficients have been measured on many organics and can be converted to equivalent electrooptic coefficients, the authors include only direct phase retardation measurements of the electrooptic effect. Interest is also emerging in organic polymers that exhibit an electrooptic effect. The linear electrooptic effect occurs only in acentric crystals. The form of the electrooptic tensor is determined by the point group symmetry of the crystal.
