==Original Abstract Submitted==

Embodiments of the disclosure include an electric field measurement system that includes a first light source, a first light sensor configured to receive electromagnetic energy transmitted from the first light source, an electro-optic sensor, and a controller. The electro-optic sensor may include a package comprising a first electro-optic crystal disposed within a body; and at least one optical fiber. The optical fiber is configured to transmit electromagnetic energy transmitted from the first light source to a surface of the first electro-optic crystal, and transmit at least a portion of the electromagnetic energy transmitted to the surface of the first electro-optic crystal and subsequently passed through at least a portion of the first electro-optic crystal to the first light sensor that is configured to generate a signal based on an attribute of the electromagnetic energy received by the first light sensor from the at least one optical fiber. The controller is configured to generate a command signal based on a signal received from the first light sensor.
