Wavelength dependence of the sensitivity of a bulk-glass optical current transformer

The wavelength dependence of the sensitivity of a bulk-glass optical current transformer is theoretically analyzed, simulated numerically and verified experimentally. The results show that the wavelength dependence will cause obvious sensitivity fluctuation of the system because of the existence of the dispersions of the reflection-induced retardance, Verdet constant, and the linear birefringence inside the bulk-glass current sensing head. Therefore, it is necessary to stabilize the driving current and the ambient temperature of the optical source of the sensor or compensate the harmful effects caused by wavelength variation. These results might be useful for researchers and designers working in the optical current transformer techniques area.     

The wavelength accumulation effect of Verdet constant upon an optical current sensor

Verdet constant is one of the prominent parameter showing the magneto-optical property of magneto-optical materials. There will be a wavelength accumulation effect in the systems employing broad-band optical sources, because of the dispersion property of Verdet constant. It is not proved, however, how much this effect can affect the broad-band system up till now. Therefore it is necessary to research into it, because the question whether it is reasonable and feasible to use a monochromatic light model for the describing of broad-band systems is concerned. The dispersion formula of the Verdet constant of ZF-7 glass is calculated first, and then, its wavelength accumulation effect upon an optical current sensor is theoretically analyzed and digitally simulated, in this paper. The results show that the wavelength accumulation effect of the Verdet constant of ZF-7 glass is less enough and the treatment of using monochromatic model to describe broad-band optical current sensing systems is reasonable and feasible, if the wavelength accumulation effects of the other optical parameters of the sensing head are not considered. The results might be a reference to the colleagues working in the optical current sensing techniques area.     

Joint effect of dispersions of reflection-induced retardance and Verdet constant upon the sensitivity of an optical current sensor

The dispersion properties of the reflection-induced retardance of polarization-preserving reflecting medium layer and the Verdet constant of the ZF-7 optical glass and their joint effect on the sensitivity of a bulk glass optical current sensor are theoretically analyzed taking the Jones’ Matrix as a mathematical tool and using simulation with a computer. The investigation results show that the dispersions will significantly affect the scale factor of the system. Therefore, it is necessary to stabilize the driving current and the ambient temperature of the optical source by some technical means to ensure the wavelength stability. These results might be useful for the researchers and designers working in the optical current sensing techniques area.     

A magnetic field sensor based on orthoconjugate reflection used for current sensing

Spectral variation of the birefringence,group birefringence and retardance of a gypsum plate measured using the interference of polarized light

Polarized white light interferometry is used to characterize the wavelength dependence of the birefringence, group birefringence and retardance of a gypsum crystal. Two different calculation schemes are used to extract values of the birefringence across the whole visible spectrum. In the spectral range 435 nm–642 nm, the variation of the gypsum birefringence is fitted to the two terms Cauchy formula and to a fourth order dispersion function. The gypsum birefringence is found to be inversely proportional with wavelength. The experimental method used gives a relative error in finding the gypsum birefringence of an order of 6×10^?4. The wavelength dependence of gypsum group birefringence is also calculated with a relative error of order 5×10^?4. In the same spectral range, the retardance changes by 28π and the gypsum plate introduced halfwave retardance 15 times.
