Title:
ELECTRIC FIELD SENSOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/153322
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This electric field sensor comprises: a light source; an electro-optic crystal into which light in a prescribed polarization state based on light emitted by the light source is incident, and which receives an electric field generated by an object; a first separation unit that separates light emitted from the electro-optic crystal into a P wave and an S wave; a first wavelength plate that is disposed at a pre-stage of the first separation unit and that changes the phase of light; a first light-receiving unit that receives the P wave light and that converts the received light to a first electrical signal; a second light-receiving unit that receives the S wave light and that converts the received light to a second electrical signal; a differential amplification unit that generates a differential signal between the first electrical signal converted by the first light-receiving unit and the second electrical signal converted by the second light-receiving unit; and a control unit that adjusts a wavelength of the light source so that, in a state in which light is emitted from the light source and an electric field is applied to the electro-optic crystal, an output value of a direct-current component of the differential amplification unit falls in a prescribed value range.
