Description
Internal field measurement in nuclear radiation detectors has always been a very difficult task. Hopefully, II-VI semiconductors, and all zinc blende structure, have a strong linear electro-optical coefficient, which allows to make use of Pockels effect. CdTe and CdZnTe are IR transparent and polarized light transmission is strongly related to the internal electric field. Therefore, IR transmission provides us powerful tools for electric field mapping. Detectors with several geometry have been investigated for improving detection quality
