title: Experimentally determined r13 electro-optic coefficient for a lithium niobate crystal.
abstract: Experimental determination of the electro-optic coefficient r13 of a lithium niobate crystal is described. The crystal in this experiment is z cut, used as a substrate for a Fabry-Perot etalon. I computed the r13 coefficient from the measured voltage tuning curve of the Fabry-Perot etalon. It is find that the measured value of r13 is lower than most of the reported values in literature.
