Technical Field

Background
The optical fiber current sensor has the advantages of strong anti-interference capability, durability, strong reliability, high accuracy and the like, and the optical fiber has good insulating property, so that the optical fiber current sensor is widely applied to various fields.
The fiber optic current sensor is based on faraday effect and uses optical fiber as a transmission medium and sensing element. The faraday effect is a phenomenon in which polarized light in a sensing fiber is subjected to a magnetic field generated by a current to rotate a polarization plane. Considering that the optical fiber current sensor has a complex structure, the integration level is quite high and more precise, so that the fault occurrence probability of the optical fiber current sensor is continuously increased. In actual operation, the optical fiber current sensor is affected by various factors such as temperature, vibration and the like, so that reliability is reduced, various optical devices used in the sensor system are easy to lose, and performance is gradually degraded when the optical fiber current sensor works in a severe environment for a long time. These factors can lead to the decline of fiber current sensor measurement accuracy, probably break down under serious circumstances, can not accurately obtain primary side current information, constitute the wei rib to the safe operation of place system, influence the normal operating of work.

The polarization optical fiber interferometer system adopts polarization maintaining optical fibers and devices, realizes synchronous phase shifting and solves the problem of amplitude jitter caused by unstable polarization direction of interference light in a common optical fiber interferometer. The invention can feed back the light intensity information of four pixels to obtain the wavelength variation by only one four-quadrant detector, thereby avoiding the error problem caused by long displacement, reducing the cost, having the characteristics of low insertion loss, high sampling rate and high precision and being capable of realizing real-time wavelength monitoring of the laser.
