Abstract
A novel entirely passive electro-optic electric field sensor is reported. T his sensor is based on the intensity change of the diffracted light from an electro-optically induced Bragg grating in a periodically poled LiNbO3 dev ice. This new type of electric field sensor is simple, inexpensive and capa ble of achieving high sensitivity, Linear operation and very large bandwidt h with stable intrinsic biasing.
