Abstract :
This paper describes the technology and performances of microprobes constructed of optical fibers and cholesterical liquid crystals loaded with graphite. These probes can be used to directly measure the E.M. fields. Their characteristics allow to use them in fundamental research as well as in the optimization of microwave systems and in medical and industrial calibration.
