Electric Field Detector (E-FED)

Abstract

(U)The goal of the Electric Field Detector (E-FED) program is to develop a small room temperature electric field sensor/sensor array based on new optical electric field sensor architectures. Electric fields are ubiquitous in the warfighter environment. It is expected that these compact sensor arrays will be useful for the monitoring of brain activity and muscle action without the need to apply electrodes directly in or on the surface of the skin. The arrays would also be useful for the remote sensing of electronics, motors, and communications devices enabling the sensing of these devices at greater distances with a more unobtrusive and portable system.
