Abstract: An electric field sensor includes a light source; an electro-optical crystal, a first separator, a first wavelength plate, first and second light receivers, a differential amplifier, and a controller. The electro-optical crystal has light from the light source incident thereon and receives an electric field generated by an object. The first separator separates light emitted from the electro-optical crystal into a P wave and an S wave. The first wavelength plate changes a phase of light at a pre-stage of the first separator. The first and second light receivers receive the P wave and S-wave light respectively, and convert the received light into first and second electrical signals, respectively. The differential amplifier generates a differential signal between the first and second electrical signals. The controller adjusts a wavelength of the light source such that an output value of a direct-current component of the differential amplifier is within a value range.
