97 results about "Verdet constant" patented technology

The Verdet constant is an optical property named after the French physicist Émile Verdet. It describes the strength of the Faraday effect for a particular material. The Verdet constant for most materials is extremely small and is wavelength dependent. It is strongest in substances containing paramagnetic ions such as terbium. The highest Verdet constants in bulk media are found in terbium doped dense flint glasses or in crystals of terbium gallium garnet (TGG). These materials have excellent transparency properties and high damage thresholds for laser radiation. Atomic vapours, however, can have Verdet constants which are orders of magnitude larger than TGG, but only over a very narrow wavelength range. Alkali vapours can therefore be used as an optical isolator, as demonstrated in Durham University's Atomic and Molecular Physics research group.

High-precision high-reliability and all-fiber current transformer

The invention belongs to the technical field of all-fiber current transformers, and particularly relates to a high-precision high-reliability and all-fiber current transformer. A redundancy design method adopting active optical devices is applied so that output optical power of light source units is enabled to be more stable and stability of light source average wavelength is enhanced. A depolarization head is additionally arranged in an optical path system so that stability and measurement precision of the optical path system can be enhanced. Two beams of light are converted into electric signals to be transmitted to a signal processing unit by utilizing correlation of output light of the two output ends of a second single-mode coupler through a digital signal processing unit, and suppression of light source intensity noise is realized by utilizing a digital circuit subtraction method so that signal-to-noise ratio is enhanced and measurement precision of the system is enhanced. A low birefringence optical fiber Verdet constant and a transformation ratio error generated by change of wave plate phase delay along with temperature are enabled to be mutually compensated via an all-fiber current transformer transformation ratio temperature error automatic compensation technology so that full-temperature measurement precision of the system is enhanced.
