Abstract

The invention discloses a dual-path detection type current magnetic field sensor based on a micro optical fiber coupler. The dual-path detection type current magnetic field sensor comprises the micro optical fiber coupler add a metal wire. The micro optical fiber coupler is manufactured from two single-mode optical fiber by use of a flame sweeping method, and comprises a uniform waist region, two cone-shaped transition region, two input ends and two output ends; the two input ends of the micro optical fiber coupler are together connected with one end of the metal wire, while the two output ends of the micro optical fiber coupler are together connected with the other end of the metal wire. The metal wire is pulled to be bent under the action of a current or a magnetic field so that the micro optical fiber coupler is stressed in the length direction; as the diameter of the uniform waist region of the micro optical fiber coupler is relatively small and the length and the refractive index of a coupling region are very sensitive to the action of force, the power of the two output ends of the coupler obviously changes along with the change of the externally applied current or magnetic field, and therefore, sensing detection on the current or the magnetic field can be realized by use of a dual-path detection method. The dual-path detection type current magnetic field sensor based on the micro optical fiber coupler is capable of improving the utilization rate of the optical energy and eliminating the influence of the power disturbance of the incident light.
