In order to satisfy the demands of high voltage transducer in modern power industry, designing a novel optic fiber high voltage transducer is focused on. The mode field distribution characteristic of optic fiber is analyzed theoretically. The interference phenomenon between modes in optic fiber is simulated with MATLAB. It shows that the light intensity of two output lobes from optic fiber exchanges with each other. This intensity variation is typically sinusoidal with respect to phase difference between two modes. A three-dimensional simulation result figure of relationship between interference of LP01 and LP11^even mode and the axial length variety in ideal fiber is plotted. After analyzing the quartz crystals characteristic, a novel scheme of voltage transducer based on interference between modes and converse piezoelectric effect of quartz crystal is put forward. This scheme sandwiches three optic fiber wrapped quartz crystal cylinders with four pieces of metal electrodes, and the high voltage is applied on the metal electrode. The quartz crystal cylinder is cut with bottom and top circle surface perpendicular to a two-fold axis of quartz crystal. After the mathematic model of the transducer is deduced, a mathematic result for evaluating the linear range and adjusting method is given. In the method, a PZT is introduced to adjust the static phase difference between LP01 and LP11^even mode in fiber. This scheme has some advantages, such as simple light path, immunity to circumstance disturbance, low cost, wide bandwidth, without danger of exploding, etc. This configuration is a new technique for high voltage transducer's design.
