Title: Electromagnetic field detector
Inventor: FRASER BURTON
IPC: G01R29/08
Filed: 2021-03-01
Abstract: A method of detecting an RF electromagnetic field comprises: transmitting a probe laser signal 23 in first and second probe signal paths to an optical receiver 29, the first path passing through a transmission medium 27 in which the probe frequency excites electrons from a ground state to an excited state; and transmitting a coupling signal 25 in a coupling signal path, overlapping the first probe signal path in the transmission medium, the coupling frequency exciting electrons of the transmission medium to induce an Electromagnetic Induced Transparency (EIT) effect. An incident electromagnetic field 10 causes a change in refractive index and thus a change in an optical path length difference between the first and second probe signal paths. The first and second paths of the probe signal are combined and the intensity of light at the receiver is monitored to detect the electromagnetic field as a change in intensity caused by the change in the optical path length difference.
