Abstract:
We consider the structure of a high-frequency external electric field sensor based on microring resonators using waveguides with two horizontal or vertical slots filled with an electrooptical polymer. The method of lines is used to calculate the propagation constants and mode field distributions of such waveguides. It is shown that double-slot waveguides filled with an electro-optical polymer exhibit higher optical radiation intensity in the slot region compared to single-slot waveguides, which makes it possible to increase the sensor sensitivity. The distances between the slots and the values of their widths at which a maximum sensor sensitivity is achieved are determined. The sensor allows alternating electric fields with frequencies up to 10 GHz to be measured in the range of 100 – 16 × 106 V m-1 with an accuracy of 150 V m-1.
