The isotopic effect on the magnitude of quadratic electrooptic coefficients in KDP is investigated. By employing both the Miller rule and assumption of a rough constancy of intrinsic electrooptic coefficients, one can expect these quadratic electrooptic coefficients which are related to the electric field applied in the [100] direction, i.e. the coefficients g 1111 , g 2211 and g 3311 to be in DKDP almost twice larger than that for KDP. Our measurements of the relative quadratic coefficient n 0 3 g 1111 ‐n e 3 g 3311 in DKDP are in contradiction with the prediction. We found g 1111 , g 2211 and g 3311 to be weakly dependent on the deuteration.
