The measurement of the electric current with an optical fiber sensor can be made insensitive to external vibrations that act on the leading fiber by using a circuit involving a mirrored Faraday rotator and a highly twisted low birefringence fiber. A description of the optical configuration as well as our first experimental results are presented. The circuit gives a passive compensation of the disturbances with a measured rejection of the order of 30 dB while maintaining the correct sensitivity to the measurement of the Faraday effect.

Abstract

The measurement of the electric current with an optical fiber sensor can be made insensitive to external vibrations that act on the leading fiber by using a circuit involving a mirrored Faraday rotator and a highly twisted low birefringence fiber. A description of the optical configuration as well as our first experimental results are presented. The circuit gives a passive compensation of the disturbances with a measured rejection of the order of 30 dB while maintaining the correct sensitivity to the measurement of the Faraday effect.
