Abstract
An optical sensing device applicable to two dimensional electric field, includes sequentially connected input polarization maintaining fibers, a sensing unit, an output single mode fiber, a photodetector and a signal processing unit, the sensing unit includes a lithium niobate substrate; a first Y optical waveguide and two Mach Zehnder structure optical waveguides are arranged on the lithium niobate substrate; the input of the first Y optical waveguide is connected with the output of the laser source, the output is respectively connected to the inputs of the two Mach Zehnder structure optical waveguides; the outputs of the two Mach Zehnder structure optical waveguides are connected to the photodetector; dipole antenna is arranged at any single waveguide arm of each Mach Zehnder structure optical waveguide, the polarization directions of the two dipole antennas are in orthogonality with each other. The invention realizes measurement of two dimensional electric field utilizing one sensing head device, which has the benefits of high sensitivity, high measuring accuracy and easy processing.
