Are fiber optic sensors related to electromagnetic fields
At its core, a fiber optic electric field sensor is a specialized device designed to detect and quantify electric fields (E-fields) by exploiting the unique interaction between light traveling through an optical fiber and the surrounding electric field. A fiber-optic sensor is a sensor that uses optical fiber either as the sensing element ("intrinsic sensors"), or as a means of relaying signals from a remote sensor to the electronics that process the signals ("extrinsic sensors"). The detection of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) field is of great significance in determining the field environment of tested equipment in small spaces. Heating the material enables the trapped states to interact with phonons and decay into lower-energy.
