    摘要: A fibre optic sensor in which the sensed parameter acts upon particles present in a plastics coating surrounding an optical fibre in such a way that the action modifies an optical propagation characteristic of the fibre. Thus the change in optical path length of the fibre included by the surrounding ferrite particle loaded plastics layer in the presence of a magnetic field provides the fibre with sensitivity to magnetic fields which can be detected by optical interferometry.

    摘要: A successive approximation analogue to digital converter including at least one superconducting loop (Fig. 3-30; Fig. 8-68). Superconducting loops (61-64) may be used to store flux quanta used as reference levels in a digital to analogue converter of the analogue to digital converter. Alternatively, non-superconducting reference inductors (Fig. 3-38) can provide flux quanta reference levels. Switchable screens (34;66) are interposed between the flux quanta stores and lobes (31;74) in an addition/subtraction superconducting loop (30;68). An analogue signal is sampled and the corresponding magnetic flux coupled to a sensing lobe (32;71) and concentrated at a flux concentrating lobe (33;72). The reference fluxes are selectively coupled into the addition/subtraction superconducting loop until a magnetometer (40;73) indicates zero net flux through the concentrating lobe, this corresponding to completion of the conversion.

    摘要: An optical sensor uses a torsion-mounted thin silicon paddle (1) with magnetically soft material (2) on its back. A light beam falls on the front face and part of the beam is reflected to a photo-diode (4) whose output drives a current in a magnetising coil (5). The magnetic field thus produced rotates the paddle out of the beam, which cuts off the light to the photo-diode. Thus the paddle oscillates with an amplitude which depends on the strain due to the torsion mounting. This modulates the light beam, and if they have different resonances several such sensors can share the same beam with common read-out means.

    摘要: Certain materials (e.g. polymers, glasses) exhibit the photo-elastic effect, whereby when they are subject to stress become birefringent, which influences a light beam passing through the glass. This beam, e.g. from a laser (1) is collimated and circularly polarised as it approaches the glass (4) and is again polarised as it leaves the glass. This stress is applied, according to this invention, by magnetostrictive strips on the glass which are influenced, by the magnetic field to be measured or the AC bias field. A miniaturised arrangement using this principle is described.

    摘要: Amorphous metallic material in ribbon form is employed to provide hermeticity of cable elements, particularly optical fibres. The metallic glass CuZr has a low permeability for hydrogen, particularly when erbium is included. Thus sealing optical fibres (1) in amorphous metal tubes (3) will prevent increase in attenuation of such fibres when used in submarine cables by preventing contact with hydrogen generated in such cables during use thereof.

    摘要: An alternating magnetic excitation field is generated in the flux concentrators (11, 12) of a Hall effect device, including a Hall element (13), by passing an a.c. current through a coil (14). This alternating field serves to drive the flux concentrators into and out of saturation. In the presence of a d.c. magnetic field and when a Hall current is applied to the Hall element, a second harmonic component is generated in the output voltage of the Hall element (13); the amplitude of the second harmonic component providing a measure of the d.c. magnetic field. In an alternative arrangement (Fig. 4) the flux concentrator means is in loop form rather than in a flat configuration as in Fig. 3.
