Birefringent Axes Aligning System for Electro-optic Probe Fabrication Using Polarization Maintaining Fiber

Fabrication method of a fiber optic electric field sensing probe using polarization maintaining fiber (PMF) is described including a birefringent axes aligning system. The sensing probe is basically a fiber-coupled Fabry-Perot resonator where a thin birefringent wafer of LiTaO3 with an external cavity is mounted onto the end of PMF. An optical wave from a superluminescent laser diode af...
