The Pockels effect was studied in TmAl3(BO3)4 crystal. The electro-optic coefficient of the compound was determined. The principal refractive indexes of the crystal were determined by measuring the Brewster angles. Both contributions to the electric field induced birefringence associated with the redistribution of connected charges and deformation were estimated.
