title: Electro-optic Q switch of an La3Ga5SiO14 crystal.
abstract: We study the influence of the electro-optic and optical activity effects of a crystal on the arbitrary linearly polarized light propagating along the optical axis and design an experiment to demonstrate this. According to the theory and the experimental results, we achieve a successful voltage-decreased electro-optic Q switch of the La3Ga5SiO14 crystal.
