Category:Electrooptic effects

Effects observed when using electrooptic devices such as electrochromism, Kerr effect, and optical bistability

Subcategories

• Electrochromism - the phenomena displayed by some materials of reversibly changing color when an electric charge is applied
• Kerr effect - also called the quadratic electro-optic effect, a change in the refractive index of a material in response to the application of an electric field
• Optical bistability - the attribute of certain optical devices where two resonant transmissions states or possible and stable depending on the input
• Stark effect - the shifting and splitting of spectral lines of atoms and molecules due to the presence of an external static electric field
