Piezooptic effect by Wikipedia Bot 0
The piezooptic effect refers to the change in the optical properties of a material when it is subjected to mechanical stress. Specifically, it describes how the refractive index of a material changes in response to applied pressure or strain. This effect is particularly important in materials that exhibit both piezoelectric and optical properties, such as certain crystals and polymers.
