Abstract: A magnetic field sensor comprises a magnetically responsive light propagating component configured to cause a polarization of light propagating inside the component to be rotated in response to an applied magnetic field, wherein the magnetically responsive light propagating component is formed of a bulk material doped with a dopant, the dopant including at least gadolinium, the dopant concentration being at a sufficiently low concentration such that the dopant is uniformly dispersed in the bulk material to provide a high Verdet constant. The magnetic field sensor also comprises a detector, and a polarization-maintaining light input device to couple the light into the magnetically responsive light propagating component. The detector is configured to measure a property of light output from the magnetically responsive light propagating component to determine a change in polarization of the light, the change caused by the presence of a magnetic field.

Abstract: A sensor system includes a radiation source, an optical fiber, and a detection device. The radiation source is arranged to emit pulses of radiation. The optical fiber comprises a first end and a core. The first end is arranged to receive pulses of radiation output from the radiation source such that, in use, the pulses of radiation are coupled into the fiber. The core is arranged to support propagation of the pulses of radiation along the fiber. The core includes a plurality of reflectors each comprising a portion of the core having a refractive index which is different to the refractive index of adjacent regions of the core. Reflections of a pulse of radiation from adjacent reflectors output at the first end of the fiber are resolvable from each other in the time domain. The detection device is arranged to measure radiation output from the first end of the fiber and resolve radiation reflected at different locations in the core of the fiber.

Abstract: A fused fibre coupler comprising: a single mode fibre, SMF, and an orbital angular momentum fibre, OAMF, the fibres having a coupling portion in which the fibres are longitudinally aligned side by side and fused at least over a coupling length in which the SMF and OAMF are tapered such that the diameter of the SMF and the diameter of the OAMF give the fibres matching effective refractive indices for a single mode of the SMF and an orbital angular momentum, OAM, mode of the OAMF for a coupled wavelength of light.
