    摘要: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of current sensors, and provides a fiber-optic current transformer based on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond, and a measurement method. The fiber-optic current transformer based on NV centers in diamond includes a device for laser light excitation and reflected light reception and analysis, a diamond NV center probe, a magnetic concentrator, and a microwave excitation device. The fiber-optic current transformer based on NV centers in diamond includes three measurement methods: an all-optical measurement method, a non-all-optical measurement method, and a measurement method combining the all-optical measurement method and the non-all-optical measurement method. A sensor in the present disclosure has advantages of a simple structure, strong practicability, resistance to external interference, and strong robustness.

    摘要: A glass ring for current measurements includes a glass body, which can be disposed around an electrical conductor and has a light entry surface and a light exit surface. The glass ring allows light which enters the glass body through the light entry surface to circulate completely around the conductor in the glass body by reflection on external sides or outer faces of the glass body, the light exiting from the glass body on the light exit surface. The glass ring is formed of a monolithic glass body. A method for optical current measurement includes using a current flow in an electrical conductor to generate an electromagnetic field around the conductor, by which a polarization of a light beam in the glass ring around the conductor, in particular with a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the conductor, is changed as the light beam circulates around the conductor.

    摘要: A magneto-optical sensor for sensing a current flowing through a conductor includes a light source capable of providing a linearly-polarised optical beam, and a polarisation analyser configured to perform a differential measurement of two polarisation components of the linearly-polarised optical beam having travelled along an optical path arranged between the light source and the polarisation analyser. The optical path forms a closed trajectory around the conductor. The sensor comprises a cell containing an atomic gas arranged along the optical path.
