Abstract
We report on a very sensitive fiber interferometric sensor for remote mapping of electrooptically induced birefringence in GaAs and other ma terials. This interferometer can be used to analyze and characterize G aAs structures without the need for elaborate testing equipment and pr ocedures. The achieved spatial resolution is on the order of 0.5 mum.
