The results obtained for the r₆₃ electro-optic coefficient of B-doped and undoped KDP (KH₂PO₄) crystals irradiated with neutrons (including thermalized neutrons) produced by scattering of 30 Mev cyclotron protons on a target of Ta²⁰¹, are presented and compared to those obtained for non-irradiated doped and undoped crystals. The B-doped (H₃BO₃, Na₂B₄O₇ and Li₂B₄O₇) crystals were obtained by the conventional growth method by temperature decrease with 1 wt % dopant concentration in solution.
