Description

Photoelectric integration electric-field sensor based on period polarized ferroelectric crystal
Technical field
The invention belongs to the electric field measurement technical field, particularly a kind of photoelectric integration electric-field sensor based on period polarized ferroelectric crystal is particularly suited for isolation and measuring high electric field under the high electric field magnitude situation.
Background technology
Under high voltage or electromagnetic pulse environment, can produce very strong electric field.It is carried out measuring key parts is exactly electric-field sensor.This sensor is not only wanted to tolerate the very high highfield of amplitude, and wants and can measure it; For accurate measurement, also require electric field influence to be measured less.
In high-voltage engineering electric field measurement field, the size sensor of traditional electrical magnetic induction principle is bigger, and integral body is metal construction, has a strong impact on electric field to be measured, and powerup issue also is difficult to solve.Utilize the photoelectric integration electric-field sensor of integrated optics technique development to compare with traditional sensor and has greater advantage, its size is little, bandwidth, can survey the field intensity height, for the measuring high electric field in high-voltage engineering field provides a kind of effective means.Its typical structure as shown in Figure 1, employing has the ferroelectric wafer (such as the lithium niobate crystal chip of directions X cutting commonly used) 101 of electrooptical effect, form the optical waveguide 102 of Mach-Zehnder interferometer structure (M-Z structure) with titanium diffusion or proton exchange method in this wafer surface, its interlude is two optical waveguides (two arms) parallel to each other, and metal electrode 103 is laid on one section surface in two optical waveguides parallel to each other.
Affact on the optical waveguide 102 by metal electrode 103 adding electric field 0 to be measured (arrow is this direction of an electric field among the figure), modulated the output power of optical waveguide, after converting voltage signal to by photoelectric conversion device, the variation that detects output voltage obtains adding electric field 0 to be measured.
In actual applications, because the pyroelectric effect of the ferroelectric crystal (as lithium columbate crystal) that is adopted, when sensor temperature changed, crystals can produce and add the parallel pyroelectricity electric field of electric field 0 direction to be measured, and be superimposed interferometry with the former.Facts have proved that this interference is given is convenient, measure electric field has exactly brought great difficulty.
At this problem, often need leave standstill sensor for a long time in the measurement, make itself and ambient air temperature reach abundant balance, the inner simultaneously pyroelectricity electric field that produces is led effect by the electricity of lithium columbate crystal and is slowly neutralized.Doing so not only needs for a long time (dozens of minutes even a few hours), and has brought great inconvenience to operation---in the measuring process even fully can not be with the direct touch sensor of hand, otherwise can cause sensor output acute variation.
On the other hand, period polarized ferroelectric crystal is the crystalline material that a class recent two decades grows up gradually.Be characterized in adopting ion diffusion, proton exchange to add the electricdomain periodically counter-rotating spatially that quick heat treating process, electron beam scanning method, extra electric field polarization method or crystal growth are realized ferroelectric crystal.In the electricdomain of counter-rotating, the crystal physics character that interrelates with the odd-order tensor will change as the symbol of pyroelectric coefficient, electrooptical coefficient etc.The present invention just is being based on this emerging material.
In Chinese patent 98109631.X, 94190479.2 and 94190476.8, all related to and used electricdomain is made electric-field sensor at the ferroelectric crystal material of part counter-rotating embodiment.Their employed ferroelectric crystal materials are to have carried out the counter-rotating of electricdomain in part, M-Z structured waveguide zone, thereby its temperature stability does not reach best, further improvement as yet.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to propose a kind of photoelectric integration electric-field sensor based on period polarized ferroelectric crystal for overcoming the weak point of existing photoelectric integration electric-field sensor, have no metal electrode, the temperature stability height is suitable for the advantage that industry spot is measured.
The photoelectric integration electric-field sensor that the present invention proposes based on period polarized ferroelectric crystal, it is characterized in that, this sensor comprises the period polarized ferroelectric wafer with electrooptical effect, the optical waveguide along the Mach-Zehnder interferometer structure of the direction that is parallel to domain wall that forms in the one or more polarization cycles of this wafer surface, this optical waveguide comprise input section, deferent segment and the interlude of being made up of two parallel arms; Two arms of described optical waveguide are in respectively in the zone that polarised direction is opposite in described one or more polarization cycle.In described period polarized ferroelectric wafer, polarization cycle is covered with whole ferroelectric wafer, and all polarization cycle is arranged along the vertical direction of described optical waveguide, and the width of this each polarization cycle equates or be unequal.
Principle of work of the present invention: adding under the electric field action to be measured, two arms of sensor M-Z structure form push-pull configuration because the opposite in sign of electrooptical coefficient causes two arm phase places that opposite variation takes place, and realize electrooptical modulation.And when temperature changed, at waveguide region, two arms of sensor M-Z structure were because the symbol of pyroelectric coefficient, electrooptical coefficient is contrary, and " two negatives make a positive " causes two arm phase places that identical variation takes place, thereby cancelled each other; Outside waveguide region, because polarization cycle is covered with whole ferroelectric wafer, so the symbol of pyroelectric coefficient is periodic inversion everywhere also, the symbol of the electric charge that pyroelectric effect produces is periodic inversion everywhere correspondingly also, thereby the electric field overwhelming majority of these electric charges will cancel each other, and be unlikely to interferometry.So just, reached purpose of the present invention.
Compare with original photoelectric integration electric-field sensor, beneficial effect of the present invention is as follows:
1) has superior temperature stability, both made things convenient for laboratory measurement, be suitable for industry spot again and measure.
2) whole sensor does not comprise any metal parts, and electric field effects to be measured is further reduced.
3) inherited that original photoelectric integration electric-field sensor response speed is fast, bandwidth, can measure all advantages such as time domain waveform of highfield signal.
