[0051] I1 is the current of the wire (1);
[0052] (2): The DC regulated power supply (4) supplies power to the coil (3). After the coil (3) is powered on, a magnetic field is generated. The magnetic field generated by the coil (3) is transmitted along the magnetoconductive body (2) to the magnetostrictive composite magnetic induction element (5), providing a bias magnetic field to the magnetostrictive composite magnetic induction element (5).

[0054] In the formula, N is the number of turns of the coil, I2 is the current for powering on the coil, and L e is the length of the rectangular electromagnetic pure iron (22);
[0055] (3): The magnetostrictive composite magnetic induction element (5) generates strain under the action of two magnetic fields. The strain generated by the magnetostrictive composite magnetic induction element (5) causes the central wavelength of the fiber Bragg grating (6) attached to the surface to change. The wavelength change amount △λ B is shown in the following formula:
[0056]
[0057] In the formula, λ B1 is the central wavelength length without magnetic field, λ B2 is the central wavelength length under the action of two magnetic fields, n eff is the effective refractive index of the fiber Bragg grating, Λ is the grating period, P e is the effective photoelastic coefficient of the optical fiber, L is the effective length of the fiber Bragg grating, and k is the magnetostrictive coefficient of the magnetostrictive composite magnetic induction element (5);

[0059] As Figure 2 shown, the magnetostrictive composite magnetic induction element (5) is of a stepped design. The total length of the material of the magnetostrictive composite magnetic induction element (5) is 10 mm, the total thickness of the material is 1 mm, and the total height of the material is 10 mm. The stepped shape can concentrate the magnetic lines of force at the central position of the magnetostrictive composite magnetic induction element (5), improve the magnetic field strength at the central position of the magnetostrictive composite magnetic induction element (5), and thus improve the sensitivity of the fiber optic current sensor.

The other end of the circular ring-shaped electromagnetic pure iron (21) is a planar magnetic circuit structure, and the cross-sectional area in contact with the cuboid electromagnetic pure iron (22) is 180 mm 2 . Therefore, placing the magnetostrictive composite magnetic induction element (5) in the middle of the stepped structures of the two circular ring-shaped electromagnetic pure irons (21) can increase the magnetic flux density of the magnetostrictive composite magnetic induction element (5).
[0062] The magnetostrictive composite magnetic induction element (5) is made by uniformly mixing Terfenol-D powder, epoxy resin, curing agent, and coupling agent in proportion. The ratio of Terfenol-D powder to epoxy resin is 5:1, the ratio of epoxy resin to curing agent is 3:1, and the coupling agent accounts for 2% of the whole mixture. The role of epoxy resin is to bond Terfenol-D powder particles, and the role of the coupling agent is to enhance the bonding force between Terfenol-D powder particles and epoxy resin. The coupling agent treats Terfenol-D powder by the overall mixing method, which is simpler and easier to operate than the surface treatment method.
