Abstract :
High intensity nanosecond pulsed electric fields and temperature were simultaneously measured using a unique electro-optic (EO) probe. The measurements were performed in an electroporation cuvette with 4 mm electrode gap and filled with a buffered salt solution. High voltage generators delivering 2.6 and 10 ns duration pulses with different pulses shape and intensity were investigated. The EO probe linearity was characterized up to 2 MV/m. The temperature measurement uncertainty was found to be less than 22 mK. Excellent measurement abilities were achieved with this EO probe showing its suitability for bioelectromagnetic experiments and particularly for wideband high intensity field applications.
