Abstract
In this paper we discuss FEM (Finite Elemente Method) simulations of t he static electric field distribution in a longitudinal Bi12SiO20 (BSO ) probe tip which is integrated in an electro-optic measurement scheme for the detection of waveforms on wires in integrated circuits. Numer ical calculations of the induced birefringence and the resulting phase -shift of the laser beam polarization made it feasible to simulate cro sstalk from neighbouring lines and enabled us to clearify the role of a transparent reference electrode on the magnitude of the electro-opti c signal. Futhermore the influence of an air/alcohol gap between the c rystal and the lines was investigated.
