Abstract: A method and device for monitoring a measurement object. A passive unit has a light source, which radiates radiated light modulated by at least one external measurement influence from the measurement object. An active unit has an optical detector, which receives the radiated and modulated light via an optical link. In addition, there is a transmitter unit emitting energy, such as optical energy, sound energy, electromagnetic energy etc. The emitted energy is coded by an energy signature and sent to the passive unit via an energy link. The passive unit receives the emitted energy by a receiver unit, which decodes the energy signature and moderates the radiated and modulated light in dependence of the energy signature. The received energy is also used to drive the light source. A processor unit may decode the signal for discriminating the signal from error sources.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for compensating for thermal drift of a probe device. The method includes monitoring a first temperature of a laser source in a sensor head that receives output electrical signals from a DUT and outputs corresponding optical signals; monitoring a second temperature of a photoreceiver in a probe interface that converts the optical signals to electrical test signals to input to the test instrument; calculating a first value of a first bias voltage using the first temperature; applying the first value of the first bias voltage to the laser source to compensate for thermal drift when the first temperature is within a first predefined temperature range; calculating a second value of a second bias voltage for the photoreceiver using the second temperature; and applying the second value of the second bias voltage to the photoreceiver to compensate for thermal drift when the second temperature is within a second predefined temperature range.

Abstract: An optical voltage probe includes: an optical modulator 1 having two modulation electrodes 11 and 12, the optical modulator 1 being configured to modulate an intensity of an incident light depending on a voltage between the two modulation electrodes and output the incident light which is modulated; an input/output optical fiber 2 connected with the optical modulator 1; two contact terminal attachment portions 5, 6 to which contact terminals 3, 4 can be detachably attached and contacted, the two contact terminals 3, 4 being configured to be in contact with the points to be measured, the two contact terminal attachment portions 5, 6 being respectively connected with the modulation electrodes 11, 12; and a package 8 that houses the optical modulator 1 and a part of the input/output optical fiber 2. A voltage signal induced via the contact terminals 3, 4 is converted into an optical intensity modulation signal. When an electric wave having a measurement frequency is applied while the contact terminal attachment portions 5, 6 are opened, the package 8 exhibits a shielding effect of attenuating the electric wave by 15 dB or more compared to an output signal intensity measured without providing the package.

Abstract: A method for measuring the current circulating through at least one conductor with the use of optical fiber-based measuring equipment is provided. According to one implementation the measuring equipment includes a first emitter that emits a first signal which reaches a sensing branch through a first branch, runs through the sensing branch, and is modified depending on the current circulating through the conductor. A modified first signal is received by a second receiver from a second branch. A second emitter emits a second signal which reaches the sensing branch through the second branch, runs through the sensing branch, and is modified depending on the current circulating through the conductor. A modified second signal is received by a first receiver from the first branch. The current circulating through the conductor is determined by combining the modified first signal and the modified second signal.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring, testing or configuring electrical devices includes an input amplifier having an input connected to a device load line to generate an output linearly proportional to a voltage on the load line. An output of the input amplifier is connected to a photodiode in an optical path with a phototransistor. The phototransistor generates an output proportional to light generated by the photodiode, and this output is amplified and passed to an analog-to-digital converter. The converter generates a digital voltage level corresponding to the amplified output of the phototransistor. Digital temperature information is used to further enhance linearity of a generated digital voltage level. Multiple quantum well photodiodes further improve measurement linearity.
