Abstract
Electrooptic ceramics specified by mesoscopic scale polarization inhomogeneities is described in terms of a chaotic phase screen model of randomly oriented microregions its optical properties being specified by the phase shift and the orientation of optical axes. Non-quadratic electrooptic response and anisotropic depolarization both well known experimentally are captured in this approach. The obtained solutions extend the Mueller matrix technique by accounting for the inhomogeneous structure of the electrooptic ceramics and are applicable to both the material/device standards and user guides.
