FIBRE-OPTIC SENSOR AND CURRENT OR MAGNETIC FIELD SENSOR

摘要

The invention relates to a fibre-optic sensor head (2) for an optical current or magnetic field sensor (1), comprising an optical fibre that contains a magnetooptically active sensor fibre (3), which is connected to at least one element (4; 5) that defines the polarisation, said sensor fibre (3) being installed in a magnetic field that is to be measured or around a conductor (L) that carries the current to be measured in the form of a coil (8). The coil (8) defines a coil plane (A) comprising a surface normal (Ns) and the element(s) (4;5) that define(s) the polarisation has/have an identified axis (f). The sensor head (2) is flexible in the vicinity of the sensor fibre (3) and an adjusting element (10) adjusts a predefinable angle (ß) between the identified axis (f) and the surface normal (Ns) or adjusts predefinable angles (ß, ß') between the identified axes (f) and the surface normals (Ns). It has been discovered that the angle or angles (ß, ß') influence the calibration of the sensor. The adjusting element (10) preferably contains a carrier body (11), to which the element (4; 5) that defines the polarisation is fixed. The carrier body (11) can predefine the angle or angles (ß, ß'). Markings (9a, 9b) are used to ensure that the coil (8) has a whole number of windings.
