摘要:
A mechanism is included for receiving a phase modulated optical signal. The phase modulated signal is modulated by a remote electrical test signal at a sensor head. A reference optical signal is also received. A phase difference between the phase modulated optical signal and the reference optical signal is then determined. The phase difference is employed to recover the remote electrical test signal from the sensor head. The phase difference may be determined by employing a phase modulator in a controller that tracks a phase modulator in the sensor head. The phase difference may also be determined by comparison of the signals in the complex signal domain.

An electro-optical sensor comprises an optical input configured to receive an optical carrier via an upstream fiber. The electro-optical sensor also includes an optical modulator configured to modulate an electrical signal onto the optical carrier to create an optical signal. The electro-optical sensor further includes an optical output configured to transmit the optical signal via a downstream fiber. The electro-optical sensor employs a variation output configured to transmit variation data indicating variation in the received optical carrier to support compensation for corresponding variation in the optical signal.
摘要:
A fiber optic sensor and related method are described, with the sensor including a cross-coupling element in the optical path between a polarizing element and a sensing element, but separated from the sensing element itself; with the cross-coupling element generating a defined cross-coupling between the two orthogonal polarization states of the fundamental mode of a polarization maintaining fiber guiding light from the light source to the sensing element thus introducing a wavelength-dependent or temperature-dependent sensor signal shift to balance wavelength-dependent or temperature-dependent signal shifts due to other elements of the sensor, particularly signal shifts due to the wavelength dependence of the Faraday effect or the electro-optic effect constant.
摘要:
A system that measures a high electric voltage on an electrical transmission line has an electro optical voltage transducer sensor connected between the electrical transmission line and ground for providing in response to the measured high electric voltage a Sin optical intensity signal and a Cos optical intensity signal. The system also has a signal processor that operates in a first state to digitally process samples of the Sin and said Cos optical intensity signals. The process samples are used to provide a representation of the high electric voltage on the transmission line. The representation can be used for one or more of metering, relaying and transient capture.

A universal, wireless, nano-optical voltmeter comprises an organic core having at least one voltage-sensitive dye and at least one polymeric shell substantially surrounding the organic core. The nano-optical voltmeter can detect electric fields in cells. The nano-optical voltmeter allows three-dimensional E field profiling throughout the entire volume of living cells. The nano-optical voltmeter may be calibrated externally and then applied for E field determinations inside any live cell or cellular compartment, with no further calibration steps.

An improved condition testing system and method includes a structure including a semiconductor material with a target portion and a second portion. The target portion has a first feature when at least one of the following occurs: an external force is received by the second portion of the structure and an internal condition occurs in the target portion. The system and method further has a interferogram shaped and located to produce a first optical interference pattern when the target portion and the interferogram are exposed to non-invasive illumination and when the target portion has the first feature. Further implementations use a second test interferogram spaced apart from the first test interferogram.
摘要:
An optical fiber (100) utilized as a sensor for measuring a parameter of interest 122 such as temperature, strain, photonic energy intensity, electric field intensity and magnetic field intensity is provided. A first optical cladding layer (104) is disposed on an optically transmissive core (102) that includes one or more optical gratings (114-1). The optical grating(s) (114-1) modifies a propagation path of selected wavelengths of light propagating through the core (102). The optical grating(s) (114-1) also varies the index of refraction of the first optical cladding layer (104). The selected wavelengths of light are determined in part by the index of refraction of the core material 105 as dependent upon a parameter of interest 122 applied to the core material 105 and as varied by the optical grating(s) (114-1). One or more detectors (410, 430, 450, 455) are used for determining the properties of the reflected and/or transmitted light. Knowing the properties of the reflected and/or transmitted light, a parameter of interest 122 can be determined.
