Abstract
The polarization and orbital angular momentum (OAM) degrees of freedom carried by light have important applications in precision optical measurement and optical sensing. Here we show that the electro-optic Pockels effect of a magnesium-doped lithium niobate (MgO:LiNbO3) crystal can be used to measure a low-frequency electric field. By exploiting the rotation property of superposition OAM light, we experimentally observe that the minimum measured precision of electric field intensity is about 0.18 V/m. This study offers a method to perform low-frequency electric field sensing.
