摘要:
A sensor system includes a magneto-optic Kerr effect magnetic field sensing element and an optical system including a light source, at least one polarizer or polarizing element and a detector disposed about the sensing element. The sensing element is responsive to an external magnetic field. In one embodiment, the optical system and sensing element can be arranged to measure the strength of a magnetic field. In another embodiment the optical system and sensing element can be arranged to measure the rotational speed of rotating members.
