Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007144547A1] The invention relates to a device for measuring two components of an electromagnetic field in an analysis zone, said device comprising: a light source (7) sending a polarized light beam into a polarization-maintaining optical fibre (5), said beam being directed along one axis of the fibre; an isotropic electrooptic material (21) placed in said zone, receiving the beam from the optical fibre via a quarter-wave plate (22) having its axes oriented at an angle of 45° to the axes of the optical fibre and sending a beam into this fibre, this plate being slightly detuned as regards is characteristic or its orientation; means (13-14) for phase-shifting the beam sent into the fibre, which means are set so as to impose a phase shift (g) equal and opposite to that (q) imposed by the fibre; and means for analyzing the orientation and the ellipticity of the wave exiting the phase-shifting means.
