Abstract

A kind of active E-field sensor based on Laser diode and fiber-optic link for EMP measurement is designed and fabricated. The sensor uses an asymptotic conical antenna to sense the incoming E-field. And the derivative signal of the antenna is processed by an active integrator based on high speed operational amplifier. A DFB-LD (Distributed feedback laser) is employed to convert the electrical signal to optical signal. The test results show that this kind of sensor can be used to detect nanosecond electromagnetic pulse.
