The variation of the ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices of ferroelectric LiTaO3 with hydrostatic pressure to 14 kbars has been measured for three wavelengths in the visible region of the spectrum by an interferometric method. Both the indices are found to increase linearly with pressure. The polarization induced contribution to the observed piezo‐optic behavior has been evaluated. The strain polarizability constant L is positive and large, and increases for shorter wavelengths. The pure temperature contribution to the index is calculated and found to be large. Corresponding results for isomorphic LiNbO3 are discussed in terms of the difference in covalency between the Ta‐O and Nb‐O bonds.
