Single-crystal magneto-optic sensor with electrically adjustable sensitivity

A novel magneto-optic sensor with electrically adjustable sensitivity is proposed that is based on the approximate multiplication correlation between the linear electro-optic phase retardation and the Faraday magneto-optic rotation angle in a single bismuth germanate crystal. The measurement sensitivity and its temperature stability, linear and monotonic measurement ranges of the proposed sensor can be controlled in real time by adjusting the modulating voltage applied to the sensing crystal. In particular, the proposed sensor can be used for the precise measurement of dc magnetic field or dc current. The basic sensing performance is theoretically analyzed and experimentally demonstrated by dc current measurement.     

Development of a portable fiber-optic current sensor for power systems monitoring

The paper presents a portable fiber-optic current sensor (FOCS), based on the Faraday effect, with a magnetic concentrator. Both the optical sensing head and electronic processing block are illustrated. A detailed experimental study to confirm the performance of the device is also reported. According to the measured values of ac rms current up to 1 kA, a calibration procedure was performed. The paper provides an analysis of the results obtained for various conductor displacements within the concentrator. The well-known temperature dependence of the Faraday current sensor and its influence on the measurement accuracy are tested by means of a special double-layer thermal insulated chamber. The calibrated and characterized FOCS is applied for harmonic analysis of the current. The results clearly illustrate the nature of the sensing process and demonstrate odd-order harmonics presence, as predicted by the mathematical model. The paper indicates that the developed device is suitable for the power systems monitoring.     

Magnetic Crosstalk Minimization in Optical Current Sensors

We demonstrate that the magnetic crosstalk-induced errors associated with point-type optical (Faraday) current sensors working in three-phase electric systems may be minimized by properly designing the geometry of the system. We propose a novel architecture in which the optical path inside the magnetooptical material is parallel to the direction of the neighboring conductors, except in a small loop around the sensor head. This renders the crosstalk effect at least one order of magnitude smaller than in conventional Faraday sensor architectures.      

Radiative ion-ion neutralization: a new gas-phase atmospheric pressure ion transduction mechanism

All atmospheric pressure ion detectors, including photo ionization detectors, flame ionization detectors, electron capture detectors, and ion mobility spectrometers, utilize Faraday plate designs in which ionic charge is collected and amplified. The sensitivity of these Faraday plate ion detectors are limited by thermal (Johnson) noise in the associated electronics. Thus approximately 10(6) ions per second are required for a minimal detection. This is not the case for ion detection under vacuum conditions where secondary electron multipliers (SEMs) can be used. SEMs produce a cascade of approximately 10(6) electrons per ion impinging on the conversion dynode. Similarly, photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) can generate approximately 10(6) electrons per photon. Unlike SEMs, however, PMTs are evacuated and sealed so that they are commonly used under atmospheric pressure conditions. This paper describes an atmospheric pressure ion detector based on coupling a PMT with light emitted from ion-ion neutralization reactions. The normal Faraday plate collector electrode was replaced with an electrode "needle" used to concentrate the anions as they were drawn to the tip of the needle by a strong focusing electric field. Light was emitted near the surface of the electrode when analyte ions were neutralized with cations produced from the anode. Although radiative-ion-ion recombination has been previously reported, this is the first time ions from separate ionization sources have been combined to produce light. The light from this radiative-ion-ion-neutralization (RIIN) was detected using a photon multiplier such that an ion mobility spectrum was obtained by monitoring the light emitted from mobility separated ions. An IMS spectrum of nitroglycerin (NG) was obtained utilizing RIIN for tranducing the mobility separated ions into an analytical signal. The implications of this novel ion transduction method are the potential for counting ions at atmospheric pressure and for obtaining ion specific emission spectra for mobility separated ions.     

Adaptability of hybrid smart composite plate under low velocity impact

Present study deals with an approach to the detection of the strains and optimization of shape memory alloys (SMA) under low velocity impact. It is assumed that the sensor is mounted on the opposite side of the impact process, and SMA fibers are embedded within the layers of a composite plate. Modeling the SMA fibers constitutive has been derived as the one-dimensional equations. With different skew angles of the piezoelectric sensor, we can illustrate that the measured charge manifests the strain components induced by the impact. By changing the SMA volume fractions and the temperature increments, we can significantly reduce the deflections. It can be shown that the application of piezoelectric sensors is effective in the monitoring of the transient strain. In addition, the optimization of the distribution of volume fraction of SMA fibers provides further benefits in reducing the deflection of the plate.

Proposal of an active composite with embedded sensor

Though advanced composites with embedded actuator materials such as shape memory alloys and piezo ceramics have been developed as active materials, another one by making use of thermal deformation of composites was proposed and an active laminate was prepared as an example by hot-pressing of aluminum plate as material of high coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), uni-directional carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) prepreg as low CTE material and electric resistance heater, polymer adhesive film as insulator between them, and copper foils as electrodes. Actuation of this laminate is different from that of bimetal because CTE of the CFRP layer is strongly anisotropic due to directionality of its reinforcement fiber. As CTEs of the CFRP layer and the aluminum plate in the fiber direction are quite different from each other though they are close to each other in the transverse direction, smooth and uni-directional actuation becomes possible. In this study, its fundamental performances such as shape change and output force were observed and evaluated, and after establishment of its fabrication, an optical loss type sensor was formed in the active composite, by embedding multiply pre-notched optical fiber in the CFRP layer and breaking it at the pre-notches under bending, followed by lamination on aluminum plate with adhesive. As the sensing part can be formed inside the matrix without any complicated processes, a robust and low cost sensor is obtained. From the results, it becomes clear that: (1) curvature of the active composite linearly changes as a function of temperature between room temperature and its hot pressing temperature by electric resistance heating of the CFRP layer and cooling, (2) its output force against a fixed punch during heating from room temperature up to around glass transition temperature of the resin phase almost linearly increases with increasing temperature, (3) the multiply pre-notched, embedded and fractured optical fiber works as a sensitive sensor for monitoring the curvature of the active composite.

Nonlinear Faraday rotation for optical limitation

The possible use of the nonlinear Faraday effect for optical limitation of the laser power is investigated in a resonant Faraday medium placed between two crossed polarizers. The results are comparable with those obtained at strong magnetic fields as a result of the linear Faraday effect. Advantages of the method are the narrow bandwidth and the wide field of view. The investigations are interesting from the viewpoint of applications for optical sensor protection and automation of the experiment. All measurements are performed at the F(g) = 2 --> F(e) = 1 hyperfine structure transition of the 87Rb D1 line.     

Internal reflections of the Gaussian beams in Faraday isolators

The reflection coefficient of the Faraday isolator-mirror system in the presence of internal reflections of the incident Gaussian beam is theoretically and experimentally explored for three different architectures of a Faraday isolator. In every case, these internal reflections are shown to alter widely the behavior of the system. In particular, we propose and test a design using a quarter-wave plate that can, in some experiments, give better isolation ratios than conventional isolators.     

Current sensor using heterodyne detection

Based on the Faraday effect for measuring ac current, we describe a fiber-optic sensor that uses laser-diode intensity modulation to perform heterodyne signal detection. The sensor output at the carrier frequency is used as a reference signal to normalize the results. The sensing element consists of a few coils low-birefringence fibers between polarizers. We built the current sensor described above and tested its performance-sensitivity and noise-as functions of the angle between polarizers.     

Magneto-optical current sensor by domain wall motion inorthoferrites

A brief review of the latest developments on optical current measurements based on the Faraday effect is presented. In all existing magneto-optical current transformers, the main measured parameter is the polarization state of the light transmitted by a sensor element. A new transformer is described by means of new results concerning the domain wall excitation. The measured parameter is the geometrical position of the boundary between domains with opposite magnetizations. In a wide frequency band, including DC currents, the measurement results are a linear function of the measured current. They are not affected by temperature changes and mechanical factors     

High sensitivity optical fiber current sensor based on polarization diversity and a Faraday rotation mirror cavity

A novel high sensitivity optical fiber current sensor (OFCS) based on polarization diversity and a Faraday rotation mirror cavity is proposed and demonstrated. Comparing with single-channel detection in a conventional OFCS, a signal power gain of 6?dB and a signal-to-noise ratio improvement of over 30?dB have been achieved in the new scheme. The cavity amplifies magnetic field-induced nonreciprocal phase modulation, while the Faraday rotation mirrors suppress the reciprocal birefringence. A linear response is obtained for current amplitude as low as several mA at an AC frequency of 1?kHz.     

Fiber-optic voltage sensor based on a Bi12TiO20 crystal

A fiber-optic voltage sensor based on the longitudinal Pockels effect in a Bi(12)TiO(20) crystal is described. The use of a special backreflecting prism as a phase-retarding element is shown to improve the sensitivity and temperature stability of the sensor. A comparison between the temperature properties of the glass backreflecting prism and that of a quarter-wave plate is derived. The sensor demonstrates temperature stability of +/-1.5% from -20 degrees C to 60 degrees C and sensitivity of 0.145% per 1 V(rms) at 850 nm without the use of an additional temperature control channel.     

Demonstration of a folded Sagnac sensor array immune to polarization-induced signal fading

We demonstrate a new folded Sagnac sensor array design that combines a Faraday rotator mirror and a polarization beam splitter to eliminate the optical noise pulses otherwise generated in a folded Sagnac sensor array. A depolarization scheme compatible with this configuration is also proposed and demonstrated experimentally. It is shown that this new configuration passively eliminates polarization-induced signal fading on every sensor in the array. The minimum detectable phase was measured to be approximately 1.1 microrad/square root of Hz, in agreement with theory.

Measuring pulsed heat flux by anisotropic thermoelement

The relationship between the electric response signal of a thermal sensor and the temperature change caused by pulsed thermal load on the working surface is established within the framework of a one-dimensional model of the anisotropic thermoelement. A signal from the gradient heat-flux sensor based on an anisotropic bismuth single crystal that occurs on a steel plate exposed in a pulsed supersonic flow is analyzed in terms of the model. The results of the heat flux calculation using the temperature sensor response are compared to the data of direct measurements.     

Linearity of the Faraday-rotation-type ac magnetic-field sensor with a ferrimagnetic or ferromagnetic rotator film

We analyze the linearity and modulation depth of ac magnetic-field sensors or current sensors, using a ferrimagnetic or ferromagnetic film as the Faraday rotator and employing the detection of only the zeroth-order optical diffraction component from the rotator. It is theoretically shown that for this class of sensor the condition of a constant modulation depth and that of a constant ratio error give an identical series of curves for the relationship between Faraday rotation angle Θ and polarizer/analyzer relative angle Φ. We give some numerical examples to demonstrate the usefulness of the result with reference to a rare-earth iron garnet film as the rotator.
