    摘要: The voltage sensor for measurement of a voltage V, which is present between two electrodes (3, 4) and generates an electric field E, comprises at least two layers (1a, 2a) made of electro-optically active material and being arranged along a light path (5). Through the layers there passes a light beam, the phase and/or state of polarization of which is influenced on account of the electro-optical effect. The orientation of the electro-optically active layers (1a, 2a) relative to the light path and the electric field E is chosen in such a way, that the influencing of the light (5) in the second layer (2a) counteracts the influencing of the light (5) in the first layer (1a). In this way, it is possible to realize a sensor with a high half wave voltage, so that high voltages V can be measured unambiguously. A plurality of first and second electro-optically active layers are advantageously arranged between the electrodes (3, 4).

    摘要: A fiber-optic current sensor has a reflection interferometer having a fiber-optic supply lead and a coil-shaped optical sensor fiber, the sensor fiber being connected with a first end to the fiber-optic supply lead, and being provided at a second, free end with a reflector. The fiber-optic supply lead has two fiber arms, which interconnect a detector-side and a sensor-side polarization-maintaining coupler. A phase modulator for modulating differential phases of two polarized waves propagating in the supply lead fiber is arranged in one of these two fiber arms, in which it modulates the differential phase of two waves polarized parallel to one another. Moreover, the sensor can change the direction of polarization in one of the two fiber arms, such that optical waves with orthogonally linear polarizations propagate in a segment of the supply lead fiber adjoining the sensor-side coupler. As a result, the advantages of the reflection interferometer can be combined with those of a Sagnac interferometer.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a fiber laser pressure sensor 1 which is suitable in particular for measuring differential pressures and flow velocities v1 in oil boreholes. The fiber laser 2 according to the invention comprises two sensor fiber segments 5a, 5b subjected to different pressure loading, in which segments a birefringence proportional to the differential pressure &Dgr;p=p1−p2, and consequently a beat frequency, is induced between the polarization modes or spatial modes in the fiber laser 2. Exemplary embodiments with polarimetric monomode fibers 5a, 5b and/or with elliptical two-mode fibers 5a, 5b are specified. Furthermore, pressure-resistant multichamber sensor housings 25 and wavelength division multiplex arrangements are disclosed for the fiber laser pressure sensor 1. One advantage is that the pressure signal is wavelength-coded and thus highly insensitive to interference. It can be read out directly fiber-optically over large distances between the passively optical sensor head 1 and the optoelectronic measuring device 12, 17. One application concerns the measurement of a flow velocity v1 with the aid of a Venturi tube 23.

The second double-mode fiber (5b), serving as reference fiber, is situated within the separate evaluating unit (14). Within the latter there is also provided at least one fiber coupler or beam splitter, which is required on account of the operation of the sensor fiber in reflection geometry. Sensor head (15) and evaluating unit (14) are connected by a single insensitive monomode fiber.

    摘要: A fiber optic current or magnetic field sensor uses a sensing fiber in a coil for measuring a current or a magnetic field and has a retarder for converting between linearly polarized light and elliptically polarized light. The retardation of the retarder, its temperature dependence as well as its azimuth angle in respect to the plane of the fiber coil are optimized in dependence of the birefringence in the sensing fiber in order to minimize the influence of temperature variations and manufacturing tolerances on the overall scale factor of the sensor.

    摘要: An electro-optical high-voltage sensor includes a waveguiding sensing fiber of an electro-optical material. The electrical field of the voltage to be measured is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the sensing fiber. The sensing fiber carries two orthogonally polarized light waves, with the applied field affecting the birefringence between the waves. Using an electro-optical waveguiding fiber in this configuration allows the voltage between two widely spaced points to be accurately measured.
