Electromagnetic launchers (rail guns) generate extreme electric and magnetic fields and high temperatures during launch that can cause significant problems for electrical sensors (left).  The Prime electric and magnetic field sensors measure field strength in 3-dimensions (right).

Magnetic and Electric Field Sensors

Prime is developing a suite of all-optical full vector (3D) electric and magnetic field sensors that can survive the harshest high electromagnetic high temperature environments.  The compact sensor probes can be used in high field strength environments that exceed 2 Tesla with rapid transients, have a response of over 50 kHz and are immune to electro-magnetic induction.
