Isotropic receive pattern of an optical electromagnetic field probe based upon Mach-Zehnder interferometer

This article describes a new idea for the design of electric field sensors that is informative for engineers studying sensors. However, there has been no experiment to show that such a sensor can be made. The phase difference between the light waves at the output ports of the sensors should be considered to realize the sensor. This article is devoted to an optical electromagnetic field probe based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Unlike the electric sensors based on diode dipole technology, obtaining an isotropic receive pattern, in the case of an optical electromagnetic field probe, requires the use of three appropriately biased sensors connected in parallel before scalar summation. The configuration of such a sensor is discussed.
