Abstract

The invention provides a thunder and lightening detector based on the optics principle. The thunder and lightening detector is formed by an optical link circuit and comprises a detection control center, optical fibers and a sensing probe. The detection control center comprises a laser unit, a photoelectric detector and a digital oscilloscope. Light emitted by the laser unit is transmitted to the sensing probe through the optical fiber. The sensing probe comprises an electric-light / magneto-optical crystal. The light is converted to linearly polarized light and then is propagated through two mutually-perpendicular linearly polarized light waves. The light emitted from the electric-light / magneto-optical crystal is converted from changes of the polarization state to changes of emergent light intensity and then is detected by the photoelectric detector. Signals detected in an electromagnetic field can be observed on the digital oscilloscope. The thunder and lightening detector based on the optics principle has the advantages that the sensing probe or an observation station of the thunder and lightening detector is completely formed by passive optical elements, and the thunder and lightening detector has the advantages of being small in size, light in weight, prompt in response, free from electromagnetic interference, large in measurement dynamic range, free from power supply and a communication system, and the like.
