Abstract
A novel technique is presented for the characterization of surface electric fields. The technique uses the electro-optic Pockels effect. An electro-optic crystal is placed in the fringing field above the surface to be monitored and is probed with a short optical pulse. The modulated optical pulse is imaged onto a detector array to produce a map of the surface field. This technique can be exploited to study surface breakdown.© (1988) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
