An optical electric field sensor comprises optical components 2 through 4 and 11 through 13 including an optical crystal and is for measuring the intensity of an electric field, spontaneously or forcedly generated, by the use of variation of at least one of an intensity, a phase, and a polarization direction of a light beam passing through the electric field. The above-mentioned optical components are arranged and sealed in a package 7 made of at least one of a glass material such as quartz, a ceramics material, and a plastic material such as vinyl chloride having an antistatic-treated surface. More effectively, a main portion of the surface of the package 7 is subjected to abrasion. On the other hand, the optical crystal having an electrooptical effect is fixedly surrounded by a heat insulation material. The entire surface of the optical crystal substrate is coated with conductive resin. Silicone is applied in an area between modulation electrodes. <IMAGE> |
