    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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 which 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 accomplish precise detection of the voltage, a mirror in the form of a thin metal film or a multilayered dielectric film is disposed at the tip of electro-optic material and, at the same time, a transparent electrode is disposed on the side of electro-optic material opposite to the side where the mirror is disposed. As a result, lines of electric force produced by the voltage developing in the object are aligned in the electro-optic material parallel to the center line of the optical probe and the change in refractive index becomes uniform.

    摘要: Young's interferometer consisting of a single slit and a double slit member, and an analyzer are arranged along the axis of light to be measured. Parallel slits of the double slit member are provided with respective polarizers whose paralyzing directions are at .+-.45.degree. to the longitudinal direction of the parallel slits. The polarizing direction of the analyzer is set in parallel with the parallel slits. The incident light passes through Young's interferometer and the analyzer to form an interference fringe, which is detected by an image detector unit. An image analyzer unit produces an intensity profile of the interference fringe and determines the polarization state of the incident light, for instance, by comparing the produced intensity profile with conceivable profiles stored in advance.
