* * * * P275）3，4 * * * * To understand how one calculates the optical properties of an anisotropic material exhibiting the electro-optical effect we have to take a closer look at the theory. This will be my last excursion into theory for today so lean back and enjoy. The formulas I just presented you [9] for the electric impermeability ? were, of course, only for one fixed direction. The first step towards any serious theory is increasing the number of indices, so that is exactly what I will do now. I have mentioned before that ? is a tensor, and of course we need to look at every entry of t
