چکیده
A novel optical fiber current sensor for low-current measurements is proposed and tested. By winding a commonly used low-birefringence single-mode optical fiber in a special geometry, one can circumvent the bend-induced birefringence problem. Smaller sensors can now be built with a sensitivity that linearly increases with the number of fiber windings.

Response of fiber lasers to an axial magnetic field.
An axial magnetic field induces circular birefringence in optical fibers, resulting in the rotation of the polarization angle for a linearly polarized input (Faraday effect). The rotation angle is linearly proportional to the magnitude of the applied field. Accurate measurements of the polarization angle variation provide a means for monitoring the magnetic field. The Faraday effect in optical ...
