A first part of input light containing both background light and signal light is extracted by a sampling streak tube and converted to a first electric signal by a photodetector. A second part of the input light containing only background light is extracted by the same sampling streak tube by offsetting the sampling timing and converted to a second electric signal by the photodetector. A signal component corresponding to the signal light is extracted by taking the difference between the first and second electric signals. In one embodiment, the sampling timing is offset by applying a chopping voltage to chopping electrodes provided in the sampling streak tube.

A voltage detector detects a voltage developing in a selected area of an object such as an integrated circuit by utilizing an electro-optic material equipped in an optical probe. A change in refractive index of the electro-optic material hwich is caused by the voltage in the object, is detected as a change of polarization of a light beam passing through the electro-optic material. In order to simplify the optical system, the electro-optic material itself has a function to change the light-traveling path. In the first aspect, a surface of light-incidence side is worked into a lens shape. In the second aspect, the electro-optic material has a graded refractive index profile as a result of ion diffusion.

To provide an E-O probe which can measure a voltage distribution in a fine region while enlarging it. A grounded, transparent electrode 2 and an electrooptic member 3 such as LiTaO.sub.3 are successively fixed to and below a support 1. There are a plurality of conical, conductive members 5a-5e arranged below a reflection film 4 in such a manner that the bottom surfaces thereof are fixed to the lower surface of the reflection film 4 and that the lower ends thereof project downward. Spaces between the plural, linear, electric needles 5a-5e become narrower toward a measured object located below them, whereby voltages in a fine region in the measured object can be guided as enlarged to the electrooptic member 3.

A voltage in a selected area of an object is measured by launching an input light beam into an electrooptic material whose refractive index is changed in accordance with an electric field created by the voltage in a selected area of an object to be measured, and detecting a change in polarization or in a deflection angle of an output light beam from the electrooptic material. A medium having a dielectric constant greater than the air is placed between the area to be measured and the electrooptic material.

摘要:
A fluorescence component that passes through a region of a detection medium where a change in refractive index has been induced through a nonlinear optical effect produced in the detection medium by a gate pulse is observed as a fluorescence image by utilizing a change in polarization state. By observing the change in position of the fluorescence image while correlating with the change over time in the fluorescence, a fluorescence lifetime measuring apparatus is realized with which the change over time in the fluorescence, in particular the fluorescence lifetime, can be measured efficiently with high temporal resolution.
