    摘要: An assembly senses fluid pressure variations within a passageway along a length of a flowline. A fiber optic cable is disposed axially within the passageway of the flowline. The fiber optic cable experiences a mechanical strain responsive to variations in the fluid pressure of the fluid communicating through the passageway of the flowline along the length of the flowline. The assembly also includes an enhancing layer surrounding the fiber optic cable. The enhancing layer is more responsive to the fluid pressure of the fluid communicating through the passageway of the cable than the fiber optic cable, which enhances the responsiveness of the fiber optic cable to the pressure by magnifying the mechanical strain associated with the fiber optic cable within a particular region of varying fluid pressure. Strain associated with the cable is communicated through back-reflected light.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for sensing electric and electromagnetic fields incorporating a fiber-optic transducer which mounts directly on a conventional optical fiber waveguide. The transducer employs a conductive Fabry-Perot microcavity bounded by a conductive, thin and corrugated diaphragm. When the conductive microcavity is placed in an electric field, the electric field is excluded from within the equipotential microcavity and a net electrostatic force acts on the diaphragm. Likewise, when the conductive microcavity is exposed to an electromagnetic wave, the wave exerts a radiation pressure on the diaphragm. In both cases, the diaphragm deflects linearly and uniformly under the influence of the extremely low electrostatic pressures which are induced. The diaphragm deflection modulates the reflectance within the optical fiber by varying the gap of the cavity. The change in reflected light is measured and correlated to the field strength using an improved dual-wavelength referencing technique which compensates for bending and transmission losses in the optical fiber.

    摘要: The voltage transformer has a measuring element in the electrical field between an internal conductor and an external conductor of a metal-encapsulated, gas-insulated switchgear. The measuring element includes a Pockels crystal, a crystal of transparent material which, under the influence of the electric field, influences polarized light that is radiated through on account of the Pockels effect. The Pockels crystal has two parallel walls transverse with respect to the field lines. A first deflection prism, which deflects a light beam through 180.degree., is disposed on the crystal face at the high-voltage end. Several optical elements are disposed at the face on the low-voltage side. The optical elements include a light input coupler for polarized light and two light output couplers. The reflected light beam impinges on a beam splitter, which splits the light beam into two partial beams. The first partial beam radiates firstly through a quarter-wave plate and then through a first analyzer. The second partial beam radiates through a second analyzer.
