Abstract
An E-O probe with improved spatial resolution has a light transmissive base part, an electro-optic material which is fixed to the base part and has an index of refraction which varies in response to an electrical field from a measured object, and a mirror which is fixed to the electro-optic material and reflects an incident beam penetrating the base part and the electro-optic material. The mirror is formed to be smaller than the incident beam in diameter. The electro-optic material is formed very thin.
