Abstract

The electro-optic effect of GaAs is applied to profile the voltage distribution of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. In our setup we reached a voltage sensitivity of 2 mV. We used this technique to characterize the local resistivity of the 2DEG. The results are consistent with those obtained from scanning electron microscopy voltage contrast measurements.
