Abstract :
A new GPR system using an optical electric field sensor was proposed. The system has a bistatic radar configuration, which is consisted from a TEM horn antenna as a transmitter and an optical electric field sensor as a receiver. The new system employs a time-domain data acquisition, and it made the data acquisition very fast. Laboratory measurements showed that a metallic sphere can be detected by the new system. Applications of this system will include landmine detection and through wall imaging.
