Abstract
The electro-optic (EO) coefficient of an organic nonlinear material exhibits a sharp resonance near the absorption maximum of the material. Due to this resonance, we experimentally observe the amplitude of the field generated from a -thick EO polymer composite to be larger than that emitted from a -thick crystal of . This comparison allows us to estimate the resonance enhanced EO coefficient of the polymer composite to be over at .
