2. Description of the Related Art There is no method for detecting an electric field in a vacuum device of a high-voltage accelerator or a high-pressure plasma generator, and a small sensor has been awaited. Similarly, regarding the electric field distribution inside the microwave oven, there is no method of directly measuring the electric field distribution, but the method of indirectly measuring the electric field distribution from the phenomenon that a substance containing water absorbs microwaves and its temperature rises. Further, for example, electric field detection is an essential requirement for maintenance and condition monitoring of facilities including transmission lines in electric power equipment.

FIG. 6 schematically shows the structure of an optical voltage sensor which has been conventionally used for electric field detection. When an electric field is applied to an electro-optic crystal such as a BGO (bismuth germanium oxide: Bi 12 GeO 20 ) crystal, the refractive index changes in proportion to the strength of the applied electric field. This property (Pockels effect) is applied to electric field detection. That is, the voltage of the high voltage conductor is divided and applied to the electrode 25 of the BGO crystal 21, and the polarization state of the light passing through the polarizer 22 is changed to the crystal 21.
Converted internally. The light whose polarization state has been converted is incident on the analyzer 23 through the wave plate 24, and the transmitted light intensity-modulated by the analyzer 23 is converted into an electric signal by a photoelectric converter (not shown) and detected. It This system has been used for condition monitoring such as ground fault, short circuit, disconnection, lightning, etc. accident detection by laying it in a remote power transmission facility and making full use of optical fiber.

FIG. 5 shows the structure of an electric field detecting device used for carrying out the electric field detecting method according to the third embodiment of the present invention. The electric field detector of FIG. 5 is different from the optical probe 2 ′ of the electric field detector of FIG. 3 in that another optical probe 2 ′ is used.
It is the same as the electric field detection device of FIG. 3 except that ″ is used. This optical probe 2 '''is a reflection type, and a branched reflection type optical waveguide 6'similar to that in FIG. 3 is constructed on a lithium niobate crystal substrate 3 which is a ferroelectric crystal. However, only the portion 4'where one of the two phase shift optical waveguides (that is, the branched optical waveguide) 5 is formed, the polarization direction of the crystal is inverted by 180 degrees from the other portion. At this time, the polarization direction of at least a part of one of the two phase shift optical waveguides (that is, the branched optical waveguides) 5 is substantially opposite to the polarization direction of the other part of the substrate 3. I wish I had it. In the present optical probe 2 ′ ″, the electrode 4 of FIG. 3 is unnecessary. When an electric field is applied to the optical probe 2 ''', the refractive index locally changes, and as a result, a phase difference occurs between the lights propagating through the two phase shift optical waveguides 5, and this branch interference occurs. It is detected as a change in light intensity at the output end of the mold optical waveguide 6.
