Abstract
Electric field measurement based on electric-field-induced second-harmonic generation (E-FISHG) of gas molecules is a promising method that enables noninvasive field measurement in gases. Although the probing laser beam is focused on the target area by a lens, the signal detected by the E-FISHG method is affected by the electric field along the probing laser path. The influencing path spans many tens of times the Rayleigh length of the front and rear of the focused spot. The E-FISHG signal has been frequently calibrated under uniform electric fields. However, this can yield a significantly incorrect calibrated value if the difference between the electric-field profiles in the measurement and calibration is not considered. In this paper, we propose a method to calibrate and furthermore restore the electric-field profile along a probing optical path by measuring a series of E-FISHG signals by changing the focusing spot position. The electric-field profile along the probing laser path is successfully restored from the measured E-FISHG signal sequence, which is verified by an experiment.
