Popis: An assessment has been made of the linear electro‐optic effect in single crystals of NMBA. Half‐wave voltages of 1.1–2.8 kV have been determined in the spectral range 488–632.8 nm. Such low values are appropriate in a material which shows well aligned molecular dipoles in the crystalline state and define its potential for use as a modulator material.
