An electrically short fiber‐optic electric‐field sensor has a sensitivity that is proportional to the fiber length. In this paper an analysis is presented for a sensor with an electrically long fiber. The result indicates that zeros will occur in the frequency response. A sensitivity tapering technique is presented which prevents these zeros from occurring.
