3. A parallel-sided PLZT plate is positioned between two crossed Polaroid plates and the
major faces of all three elements are normal to a parallel beam of monochromatic light
(2 = 750 nm). The thickness of the PLZT plate is 1 mm and the electrodes, spaced
1 mm apart, are arranged such that a uniform electric field can be applied through the
volume of the PLZT plate parallel to its major faces and at 45° to the transmission axis
of each Polaroid plate.
Calculate the voltage that must be applied between the electrodes to achieve
maximum light transmittance through the system. Estimate the transmittance
assuming 5% loss at each Polaroid surface and assuming that the PLZT element
carries antireflection coatings and the material has an absorption coefficient of
65 m-1. The PLZT is quadratic with R = 4.0 × 10-16 m² V-l and n =
346 V; 38% transmitted]
