Single Shot and Vectorial Characterization of Intense Electric Field in Various Environments With Pigtailed Electrooptic Probe

In this paper we illustrate the ability of electrooptic sensors to perform electric (E)-field vectorial measurements. Thanks to their frequency response spreading over nine decades and to their measurement dynamics reaching 120 dB, these sensors are of high interest for some applications (near field...

Summary:In this paper we illustrate the ability of electrooptic sensors to perform electric (E)-field vectorial measurements. Thanks to their frequency response spreading over nine decades and to their measurement dynamics reaching 120 dB, these sensors are of high interest for some applications (near field mapping, energy line monitoring, electromagnetic compatibility, and so on). Furthermore, due to their fully dielectric structure and millimetric size, almost no perturbation is induced on the E-field to be measured, even in the near field region. This paper is focused on high-intensity pulsed E-field characterization in different environments such as air, water (bioelectromagnetism applications), or plasmas (in situ assessment of the E-field associated to an electric discharge and to the induced plasma). The use of such a technology for electrical equipment and energy line monitoring is also investigated.
