In this paper, we present what believe is the first demonstration of a new rectangular KD*P crystal as an electro-optic switch and calculations stress-induced birefringence depolarization loss in crystal. We simulated experimentally demonstrate thermal both cylindrical shape. The results show that by using crystal, effects thermally induced can be lessened.
