Electric field sensitive optical fibre using piezoelectric polymer coating

Abstract
Optical fibres coated with piezoelectric polymers are shown to be sensitive conductorless detectors of electric fields. The phase shift of a fibre coated with a polymer containing PVF2 was found to be 2.3 × 10−5 radians per V/m of electric field per metre of fibre.
