  The effective permittivity dyadic of a composite material containing
particulate constituent materials with one constituent having the ability to
display the Pockels effect is computed, using an extended version of the
strong-permittivity-fluctuation theory which takes account of both the
distributional statistics of the constituent particles and their sizes.
Scattering loss, thereby incorporated in the effective electromagnetic response
of the homogenized composite material, is significantly affected by the
application of a low-frequency (dc) electric field.
