Abstract
This article presents a novel method for the direct observation of electric field profiles in solid dielectrics based on the step electroacoustic method. In the proposed approach, long pressure waves generated by a step voltage excitation are detected using a piezoelectric sensor that is significantly thicker than the test specimen. The transducer acts as a high-pass filter, allowing a step-function-like pressure signal to be observed for each space charge. As a result, the oscillogram directly shows the electric field profile in the specimen. Using an 80-$\mu $ m-thick PVDF sensor and a 50-$\mu $ m-thick PET film as the test specimen, we experimentally demonstrate that the spatial resolution of the profile after deconvolution can be less than $10~\mu $ m.
