  • Optical voltage and electric field sensor based on the pockels effect
    Patent number: 5635831
    Abstract: An optical voltage/electric field sensor includes a crystal having a refractive index distribution which depends on an electric field applied thereto, wires for leading the electric field onto the surface of the crystal, a detector to detect changes in the refractive index distribution, and a transparent material having a low extinction coefficient and dielectric constant surrounding the crystal. Such a sensor is particularly useful for measuring the voltage of high frequency dryers.
