Uniform deformation and birefringence of crystals in a nonuniform electric field

A nonuniform electric field is shown to induce uniform components of deformation and birefringence in crystals, which are linear with respect to field gradient. Magnitudes of these effects in NaCl are measured interferrometrically.
