Use of Dielectric Microprobes for Electromagnetic Fields Measurement

Since 1971, our Research department is studying dielectric probes for measuring the penetration of electromagnetic waves in not-clearly defined media. These probes call for the following technology : - dielectric light conductors - a dielectric thermo-sensitive system - an electromagnetic waves absorbing coating These devices allow measurement of power density of irradiated waves in ambient media, nearby dioptres or even near metallic conductor areas. The technics we are proposing permitted to us to reach some quite interesting characteristics which justify their use in many fields such as : - Fundamental research for the study of microwave penetration in phantoms or real media - Medical research for the control and dosimetry of radar radiations - Industry for the study and optimisation of irradiators and microwave ovens
