Abstract
We report the dependence of the high and low-frequency values of the linear electro-optic (EO) coefficient rc=r33-(no/ne)3r13 of Sr0.6Ba0.4Nb2O6 (SBN:60) single crystal on the laser wavelength. The EO response has been carried out from dc to 150 MHz for four wavelengths ranging from 465 to 1321 nm. The clamped rS and unclamped rT coefficients have been determined and their dispersions as a function of wavelength have been established and discussed.
