polar optical effect
1Optical rectification — Electro optic rectification (EOR) (also referred to as optical rectification) is a non linear optical process which consists in the generation of a quasi DC polarization in a non linear medium at the passage of an intense optical beam. For… …
2Magneto-optic Kerr effect — (MOKE) is one of the magneto optic effects. It describes the changes of light reflected from magnetized media. Several grains of NdFeB with magnetic domains made visible via contrast with a Kerr microscope. Contents …
3Kerr effect — This article is about the Kerr nonlinear optical effect. For the magneto optic phenomenon of the same name, see magneto optic Kerr effect. The Kerr effect, also called the quadratic electro optic effect (QEO effect), is a change in the refractive …
4Stark effect — The Stark effect is the shifting and splitting of spectral lines of atoms and molecules due to the presence of an external static electric field. The amount of splitting and or shifting is called the Stark splitting or Stark shift. In general one …
