Abstract

This paper compares two methods of determining the electrooptic coefficient of a medium: a two-parameter method of moments developed by the authors and the traditional linear-regression method. It is shown that the problem of determining the electrooptic coefficient by measuring a reflected light wave is mathematically described by the Rice statistical model. The obtained experimental data, which demonstrate that the results of the two methods under comparison agree fairly well, confirm that the new method of two-parameter analysis is efficient for solving the problem of estimating the electrooptic coefficients of a medium.
