Title: An electro-optic apparatus for electric-field vector measurement by the modulation technique of rotational deformation
Inventor: GUO WEN-KAI
IPC: G01R29/08
Filed: 2001-03-12
Granted: 2002-07-11
Abstract: Traditionally, an electro-optic probing system is only able to measure one component of tangential two-dimensional electric-field vector. Therefore, for the two- dimensional electric-field vector in a device under test, the system must measure one component first and then measure the other component by rotating the device under test 90 degrees. In this invention, a new electro-optic modulation technique is proposed, and the two-dimensional electric-field vector can be obtained by combining the new one and traditional electro-optic modulation technique instead of rotating the device under test. This approach can shorten the measurement time and have a better accuracy as well. Besides, the sensitivity variation for different electric-field directions also can be improved by this method.
