What is a fiber optic electric field sensor
Optical fibers can be used as sensors to measure, , and other quantities by modifying a fiber so that the quantity to be measured modulates the,,, or transit time of light in the fiber. Sensors that vary the intensity of light are the simplest, since only a simple source and detector are required. At its core, a fiber optic electric field sensor is a specialized device designed to detect and quantify electric fields (E-fields) by exploiting the unique interaction between light traveling through an optical fiber and the surrounding electric field. By using the optical fiber collimators, a small collimated laser probe beam is coupled in EO material to convert the modulation of.
