[0066] Embodiment one:

[0067] Reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2The application discloses an AC zero-crossing compensation method for stress linear birefringence of an optical current sensor, the optical current sensor comprising a laser source 1, a polarizer 2, a magneto-optical film 3 and a radial polarization grating 4 arranged in sequence in the same light path.

[0068] S100, a laser source 1 emits an optical signal, the optical signal emitted by the laser source 1 passes through the polarizer 2 to obtain linearly polarized light, the linearly polarized light passes through the magneto-optical film 3, under the action of a magnetic field, the polarization plane of the polarized light rotates, and the rotation angle is a Faraday magneto-optic rotation angle alpha; however, temperature change and vibration also produce stress linear birefringence gamma in the magneto-optical film 3 and a transmission optical fiber, and the stress linear birefringence gamma is superimposed on the alpha, so that the polarization plane of the output linearly polarized light co-rotates by an angle of alpha+gamma, the linearly polarized light is demodulated by the bar-shaped radial polarization grating 4 to be converted into a bar-shaped light spot 6 superimposed with the Faraday magneto-optic rotation angle alpha and the stress linear birefringence gamma, and the bar-shaped light spot 6 linearly translates with the change of the polarization plane of the linearly polarized light.

[0069] S200, the position of the emitted bar-shaped light spot 6 is located by a position-sensitive detector 5 to measure the rotation angle of the polarization plane of the linearly polarized light.

[0070] S300, according to the Faraday magneto-optic effect, when the measured AC current passes through zero, the alpha of the magneto-optical film is zero, at this time, the output signal of the sensor is the gamma, so that the zero-crossing point of the measured current can be determined by using a zero-crossing detection circuit 7, at this time, alpha=0, and the rotation angle of the polarization plane measured by the position-sensitive detector is the stress linear birefringence gamma.

[0071] S400, the output signal of the optical current sensor is compensated by the obtained stress linear birefringence gamma.

[0072] Based on the embodiment, the stress linear birefringence can be extracted and compensated when the AC current passes through zero through the linear measurement mode. The optical current sensor directly converts the Faraday magneto-optic rotation angle into synchronous translation of a light spot image based on the bar-shaped radial polarization grating, and directly linearly measures the rotation angle through light spot positioning. Temperature change and vibration produce stress linear birefringence in the magneto-optical film and the transmission optical fiber, and have a harmful extinction effect on the Faraday magneto-optic rotation angle. Based on the above linear measurement mode, the output of the sensor is linear superposition of the Faraday magneto-optic rotation angle and the stress linear birefringence. When the measured AC current passes through zero, the current magnetic field is zero, so that the Faraday magneto-optic rotation angle is zero, at this time, the output signal of the sensor is the stress linear birefringence. Then, the zero-crossing point of the measured AC current is determined by using a zero-crossing detection circuit, at this time, the stress linear birefringence can be detected and compensated, and the purpose of eliminating the stress linear birefringence is achieved.

[0073] As a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, in step S200, the method for measuring the rotation angle of the polarization plane of linearly polarized light by positioning the bar-shaped light spot with the position-sensitive detector is specifically:

[0074] S201, positioning the initial position of the dark fringe center of the bar-shaped light spot with the position-sensitive detector;

[0075] S202, positioning the current position of the dark fringe center of the bar-shaped light spot with the position-sensitive detector when measuring the current to be measured, and calculating the light spot displacement amount Δx from the current position and the initial position of the dark fringe center;

[0076] S203, obtaining the value of the rotation angle of the polarization plane based on the relationship between the light spot displacement amount Δx and the rotation angle of the polarization plane.

[0077] As a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, the method for obtaining the relationship between the light spot displacement amount Δx and the rotation angle of the polarization plane is:

[0078] Specifically refer to Figure 2 , the incident light from the laser source 1 is linearly polarized light Ein through the polarizer 2:

[0079]

[0080] Where A represents the input light intensity.

[0081] The linearly polarized light passes through the magneto-optical film 3, and under the action of the magnetic field of the current to be measured, the polarization plane of the linearly polarized light rotates, and the rotation angle is the Faraday magneto-optical rotation angle α, and the transmission matrix J E can be expressed as:

[0082]

[0083] Affected by temperature changes and vibrations, stress birefringence γ is generated in the magneto-optical film 3 and the transmission optical fiber, at this time J E can be rewritten as J r :

[0084]

[0085] Where α' = α + γ is the rotation angle of the polarization plane of the linearly polarized light considering the stress birefringence.

[0086] Therefore, the Jones vector of the linearly polarized light after passing through the magneto-optical film is:

[0087]

[0088] The vibration components of the output light vector E1 in x and y directions are combined to obtain a linearly polarized light, and the amplitude is still A, and the polarization azimuth angle θ is:

[0089]

[0090] Therefore, θ in E1 and α' satisfy a linear relationship:

[0091] θ = α' (6)

[0092] E1 is converted into a bar-shaped light spot after demodulation by the bar-shaped radial polarization grating, wherein the dark stripe center position corresponds to the polarization plane of E1 and linearly translates with the change of α'. θ and the light spot displacement Δx satisfy:

[0093]

[0094] wherein l is the length of the grating. When θ = 0°, the dark stripe center position is on the 0° grating unit of the bar-shaped polarization grating. Based on the Matlab simulation, the light intensity distribution after the polarization grating detection is shown in FIG. 4. Figure 3 It can be seen that the dark stripe center of the light spot synchronously translates with the change of θ, and therefore the direct measurement of θ can be realized by measuring the translation amount of the dark stripe center of the light spot.

[0095] Combining formula (6) and (7), we obtain:

[0096]

[0097] Therefore, the linear measurement result of the optical current sensor is the linear superposition of α and γ. According to the Faraday magneto-optical effect, the measured magnetic field H and α satisfy:

[0098] α = VHL M (9)

[0099] wherein V is the Verdet constant, and LM is the light path length of the magneto-optical material along the magnetic field direction. When H = 0, α = 0, that is, at the zero crossing of the alternating current, the output signal α' of the optical current sensor is γ, and at this moment, the dark stripe center position of the bar-shaped light spot 8 corresponding to α = 0 is at zero, while the dark stripe position 9 of the output light spot of the optical current sensor corresponds to γ. By positioning the light spot, γ can be detected and compensated, achieving the purpose of eliminating γ.

[0100] In one embodiment, the zero-crossing detection circuit 7 is used to determine the zero crossing of the measured alternating current, and the circuit principle is shown in FIG. 5. Figure 4 U2A and U2B are two comparators of LM339, Vi is the input signal, Vo is the output signal, V2 and V3 are the upper limit value and lower limit value of the reference voltage of the comparator respectively; 7408N is an integrated double-input four AND gate circuit. Its working principle is: in a period, when Vi > V2, Vo is low; when V3 < Vi < V2, Vo is high; when Vi < V3, Vo is low. Therefore, by adjusting the values of V2 and V3, the zero crossing of the alternating current can be detected.

[0101] In the embodiment, the laser source 1 is a single longitudinal mode laser with a wavelength of 808 nm; the magneto-optical film 3 is a Bi-Gd-YIG type; the strip radial polarization grating 4 is made by an electron beam direct writing method, with a processing error of ±5 nm, a length of 12 mm, a height of 1.5 mm, a period of 200 nm, a duty cycle of 0.5, a grating ridge height of 150 nm, and a maximum measurable Faraday magneto-optical rotation angle of ±50°; the position sensitive detector 5 is used to detect the spot displacement, which is an S3932 type with a light sensitive area of 1*12 mm, a wavelength response range of 760-1100 nm, and a peak wavelength of 960 nm; the zero-crossing detection circuit is used to detect the zero-crossing point of the alternating current to be measured, and the reference is attached Figure 4 ;

[0102] To verify the effectiveness of the method proposed in the embodiment, a high-low temperature alternating humidity test box is used to provide different temperature environments, with a temperature range of-40℃-85℃ and a temperature fluctuation of ±0.5℃. The optical current sensor is placed in the inner tank of the temperature box, and the temperature cycle experiment is carried out in the temperature range of-40℃-85℃. The zero-crossing detection circuit 7 is used to detect the zero-crossing point to determine the stress line birefringence introduced in each cycle and to compensate it. Finally, the basic accuracy of the optical current sensor is recorded by the calibration instrument, as shown in Table 1. Under the temperature cycle condition, the optical current sensor can meet the requirement of 0.5 level accuracy.
