Abstract

The invention discloses an interference type fiber optic current sensor based on magneto-optic modulation. The interference type fiber optic current sensor based on the magneto-optic modulation comprises a broadband light source, a fiber optic polarizer, a fiber optic coupler, a Faraday magneto-optic modulator, a round polarization-maintaining transmission optical cable, a sensing fiber ring, a photoelectric detector and a signal processing unit. The non-reciprocal magneto-optic modulation avoids the using of a large quantity of polarization-maintaining delay lines, and modulation speed can be decreased at the same time. Due to the using of the round polarization-maintaining transmission optical cable, the polarization state of light is well controlled, and alignment of a polarization main shaft is not needed during welding. According to the interference type fiber optic current sensor based on the magneto-optic modulation, technical difficulty of an active modulation scheme of the interference type fiber optic current sensor can be greatly reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a novel optical fiber current sensor, in particular, an interference type optical fiber current sensor based on magneto-optical modulation. Background technique [0002] The current sensor is an important device for electric energy measurement and relay protection in the power system. With the development of the electric power industry, the voltage operation level is getting higher and higher, and the traditional electromagnetic current transformer has encountered great difficulties in insulation. The current transformer made of optical fiber has natural advantages in insulation, and also has the advantages of anti-electromagnetic interference, wide measurement frequency range, and digital output. It is the development trend of current sensors in the future. [0003] The basic principle of fiber optic current sensing is the Faraday magneto-optical effect, that is, when an external magnetic field is applied, the polarization dir...
