Definitions
- the present invention relates to a quantum cryptography device for transmitting quantum cryptography between a current sensor for detecting a current value of a power system, a magnetic field sensor, and a transmission unit and a reception unit connected via a transmission line in the field of optical communication.
- the present invention also relates to an optical fiber birefringence compensating mirror used for an optical switch, a light source, an amplifier, an interferometer, an add drop, and the like, and the current sensor.
- a wound-type current transformer has been widely used for current measurement of a power system of a power facility.
- the winding type current transformer increases in size as the system voltage to be measured increases, and there is a problem that the cost and installation space increase.
- GIS Gas Insulation Switch
- a current sensor that uses the Faraday effect of the optical fiber itself and wraps the optical fiber around the current conductor to measure current
- This current sensor makes linearly polarized light incident on an optical fiber, circulates this optical fiber around a conductor through which a current to be measured flows, and a magnetic field generated in proportion to the current causes the plane of polarization of the linearly polarized light in the optical fiber to change. Rotate by Faraday effect. At this time, the rotation angle of the polarization plane is proportional to the magnitude of the current to be measured. Therefore, the magnitude of the current can be obtained by measuring this rotation angle.
- FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram showing a current sensor described in Patent Document 1, which is an example of a current sensor using the Faraday effect of an optical fiber.
- the current sensor 100 includes an optical circulator 101, a birefringent element 102, a Faraday rotator 103, and a sensor optical fiber 104.
- the optical fiber 104 is arranged around the conductor 105 through which the current to be measured flows.
- a Faraday rotator 103 is provided at one end of the optical fiber 104, and a mirror 106 is provided at the other end.
- the birefringent element 102 and the optical circulator 101 are connected by an optical fiber, and the optical circulator 101 is connected in a direction in which light from the light source 107 is transmitted to the optical fiber 104 side.
- the light emitted from the light source 107 and incident on the birefringent element 102 via the optical fiber 108 and the optical circulator 101 becomes linearly polarized light by the birefringent element 102 and enters the Faraday rotator 103.
- the Faraday rotator 103 is composed of a magnet 109 and a ferromagnetic garnet 110 magnetically saturated by the magnet 109, and rotates the polarization plane of light transmitted through the ferromagnetic garnet 110 by 22.5 degrees.
- the linearly polarized light transmitted through the Faraday rotator 103 is incident on the optical fiber 104 and undergoes Faraday rotation by the magnetic field generated by the current to be measured flowing through the conductor 105, and the polarization plane of the linearly polarized light has a rotation angle proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field. Rotate.
- the light propagating through the optical fiber 104 is further reflected by the mirror 106 and is again rotated by the Faraday effect by the magnetic field when propagating through the optical fiber 104 again, and is incident on the Faraday rotator 103 again. Since the light is transmitted again through the Faraday rotator 103 and the plane of polarization is further rotated by 22.5 degrees, the plane of polarization is reciprocally rotated by the Faraday rotator 103 by 45 degrees.
- the light transmitted through the Faraday rotator 103 is propagated again to the birefringent element 102 and separated into two linearly polarized lights whose polarization directions are orthogonal to each other.
- One of the separated linearly polarized light is received by the light receiving element 112 via the optical circulator 101 and the optical fiber 111, and converted into an electric signal S1.
- the other linearly polarized light is received by the light receiving element 114 via the optical fiber 113 and converted into an electric signal S2.
- the signal processing circuit 115 processes the electrical signals S1 and S2 reflecting this change. By doing so, the Faraday rotation angle generated in the optical fiber 104 can be obtained. Then, the measured current is calculated from the determined Faraday rotation angle.
- the transmission and transformation equipment such as the GIS described above has a large current, and in order to detect such a large current with an optical fiber, it is necessary to use a silica-based optical fiber having a large maximum measured current value.
- FIG. 16 shows an example in which the measurement result varies depending on the operation of the circuit breaker in the GIS.
- the measurement result when the system frequency is 60 Hz and steady is a waveform as shown in FIG.
- the measurement result fluctuates greatly as shown in FIG.
- a low birefringence optical fiber containing lead oxide is used for the optical fiber 104.
- the reason why an optical fiber containing lead oxide is used is that the photoelastic coefficient is very small compared to a silica-based optical fiber, and the propagating polarized light is not easily affected by stress due to bending or vibration. .
- the optical fiber containing lead oxide has a Verde constant indicating Faraday rotation ability of about 5 times that of the silica-based optical fiber, so that the maximum detected current is smaller than that of the silica-based optical fiber, resulting in a large current. It was disadvantageous for the measurement.
- FIG. 18 shows the configuration of the Faraday mirror 123 described in Patent Document 2.
- the Faraday mirror 123 interpolates the optical fiber 126, the optical fiber 127, and the convergent beam system integrated terminal having the spherical portion 128 formed at the tip thereof through the ferrule 125 in the center hole of the optical fiber holder 124, and protrudes the spherical portion 128.
- a 45-degree Faraday rotator 129 and a mirror 130 were arranged opposite to each other, and sealed with a cap 132 on which a magnet 131 for magnetizing the Faraday rotator 129 was extrapolated.
- the direction in which the light travels from the optical fiber 127 to the mirror 130 is defined as the forward direction
- the direction in which the light travels from the mirror 130 to the optical fiber 127 is defined as the reverse direction
- the light propagated through the optical fiber 127 in the forward direction and emitted from the spherical portion 128. Is rotated by 45 degrees by the Faraday rotator 129 and reflected by the mirror 130. Further, by transmitting again through the Faraday rotator 129 in the reverse direction, the polarization plane is further rotated by 45 degrees, and in the reverse direction, the polarization plane of light emitted from the optical fiber 127 and the spherical portion 128 is 90 degrees in the reverse direction. The light returns to the optical fiber 127 in the rotated state.
- the vibration characteristics of the current sensor equipped with the Faraday mirror 123 are improved as compared with those when the mirror 106 is mounted, the vibration characteristics are insufficient for high-accuracy measurement, and the temperature characteristics are also poor.
- the cause of this is that the Faraday rotator 129 has temperature characteristics and wavelength characteristics, and there is a limit to the thickness processing accuracy for determining the Faraday rotation angle of 45 degrees. This is because the birefringence of the optical fiber cannot be completely compensated because the Faraday rotation angle of the polarization plane when reciprocating is shifted from 90 degrees.
- the wavelength and temperature characteristics of the current sensor are also deteriorated.
- FIG. 19 shows the temperature dependence of the measured current value output from the current sensor connected to the Faraday mirror 123 as a specific error-temperature characteristic.
- the ratio error decreases most near the temperature of 35 degrees, but when the temperature decreases or rises above 35 degrees, the fluctuation range of the ratio error increases non-linearly, and the temperature characteristics of the Faraday rotator 129 is the current sensor. It can be seen that the measured value of the current to be measured fluctuates.

- the thickness D is set as described above, even if no and ne fluctuate for each crystal, it is possible to set an optimum thickness accordingly and to emit the separated light from the surface 3b. Further, the thickness D can be reduced by adjusting the direction of the crystal axis X31.
- ne and dc are constant and the birefringent element 3 is rutile
- ⁇ is 47.8 degrees, the separation width between the ordinary ray and the extraordinary ray is maximized while the thickness D is minimized. Therefore, ⁇ is most preferably 47.8 degrees.
- the shift amount of extraordinary rays in the birefringent element 3 is preferably set to at least twice the mode field diameter of the optical fiber 2.
- the reason is that the Faraday rotator 6 has temperature characteristics and wavelength characteristics, and even if the Faraday rotation angle of the two linearly polarized light by reciprocating the Faraday rotator 6 deviates from 90 degrees, the birefringence element 3 This is because it becomes possible to prevent the linearly polarized light having a component deviating from the separated 90 degrees from entering the optical fiber 2.

- the two linearly polarized light 8 a and 8 b collected by the lens 4 further enter the Faraday rotator 6.
- the Faraday rotator 6 is set to have a Faraday rotation angle of 45 degrees because of magnetic saturation. Accordingly, the polarization planes of the two linearly polarized lights 8a and 8b emitted from the lens 4 are transmitted through the Faraday rotator 6 and rotated in the same direction by 45 degrees as shown in FIG.
- the two linearly polarized light 8a and 8b transmitted through the Faraday rotator 6 are reflected point-symmetrically at one point R on the surface of the mirror 7 on the opposite side to the incident angle, and are shown in FIGS. 1, 3C, and 3D. ),

- the reflection point on the mirror 7 (the point R) and the optical axis X4 of the lens 4 are the same in the light propagation direction (z-axis direction).
- the mirror 7 and the lens 4 are positioned and arranged so as to be on the line. Further, the lens 4 is positioned so that the center positions of the two linearly polarized light 8 a and 8 b are equidistant from the optical axis X4 of the lens 4.
- the reflected two linearly polarized light 8a and 8b pass through the Faraday rotator 6 again, whereby the polarization directions of the two linearly polarized light 8a and 8b are further rotated by 45 degrees in the same direction (FIG. 3 ( E)). Therefore, the polarization planes of the two linearly polarized light 8a and 8b that have passed through the Faraday rotator 6 after being reflected by the mirror 7 are rotated by 90 degrees with respect to the polarization plane before entering the Faraday rotator 6 shown in FIG. You can see that.
- One of the linearly polarized light 8 a becomes an extraordinary ray inside the birefringent element 3 when it is incident again on the birefringent element 3, and the other linearly polarized light 8 b is an ordinary ray inside the birefringent element 3. It becomes.

It is a ratio error in the measured value of the current to be measured output from.
- the temperature dependence of the current sensor is suppressed to a level that can be regarded as almost none over the temperature range of ⁇ 20 degrees to 80 degrees, and the fluctuation of the ratio error is almost not. I understand that there is no. Therefore, it can be seen that fluctuations in the measured value of the measured current of the current sensor are suppressed.

- the vertical direction is a to h and indicates the propagation position of the polarization component in each optical path cross section.
- the incident position of light incident on the first birefringent element 3 from the optical fiber 2 is between 4 and 5 in the horizontal direction, and e in the vertical direction. between f. In the present embodiment, such a position is represented as (4-5, ef).

- the crystal axis X92 direction is set to be different by 90 degrees with respect to the crystal axis X32 direction. Accordingly, the plane of polarization of the linearly polarized light 8a, which is an ordinary ray in the first birefringent element 3, is parallel to the crystal axis X92 direction.
- the linearly polarized light 8a transmitted through the first birefringent element 3 with ordinary light becomes an extraordinary light in the second birefringent element 9, and therefore the linearly polarized light 8a is horizontally aligned as shown in FIG. 6C. Shifted and transmitted through the second birefringent element 9.
- the plane of polarization of the linearly polarized light 8b transmitted through the first birefringent element 3 with extraordinary rays is perpendicular to the crystal axis X92 and is not shifted, and the second birefringent element 9 goes straight as an ordinary ray. To Penetrate.
- the crystal axis X32 direction, the crystal axis X92 direction, the thickness D of the first birefringent element 3, and the thickness D of the second birefringent element 9 are set.
- the total amount of extraordinary ray shift in the first birefringent element 3 and extraordinary ray shift in the second birefringent element 9 is desirably set to be twice or more the mode field diameter of the optical fiber 2.
- the reason is that the Faraday rotator 6 has temperature characteristics and wavelength characteristics, so that even if the Faraday rotation angle of the two linearly polarized light by reciprocating the Faraday rotator 6 deviates from 90 degrees, the second birefringence. This is because it becomes possible to prevent linearly polarized light from entering the optical fiber 2 with a component shifted from 90 degrees separated by the element 9 and the first birefringent element 3.
- the thickness (crystal length) D of the second birefringent element 9 in the propagation direction of the ordinary ray is the same as the thickness D of the first birefringent element 3,
- the optical fiber birefringence compensation mirror 10 is set so that the amount of shift of the extraordinary ray when transmitted through the first birefringent element 3 and the extraordinary ray when transmitted through the second birefringent element 9 are the same. Assemble the optical system. Therefore, it is desirable to set the thicknesses of the two birefringent elements 3 and 9 to the same value D as described above and to configure the two birefringent elements 3 and 9 with the same material.
- the optical path length difference between the two linearly polarized light generated by separating the ordinary ray and the extraordinary ray when passing through the second birefringent element 9 is More desirably, it is set equal to the optical path length difference between the two linearly polarized light produced by the separation.
- a means for equalizing the optical path length differences is to set the thickness of the second birefringent element 9 and the crystal axis X91 direction in accordance with the thickness of the first birefringent element 3 and the crystal axis X31 direction. .
- the thicknesses of the two birefringent elements 3 and 9 are set to the same value D as described above, and the same material is used in which the directions of the crystal axes X31 and X91 are aligned.
- the direction of the axis X92 is set so as to be 90 degrees different from the direction of the crystal axis X32.
- each polarization plane rotates in the same direction by 45 degrees.
- the two linearly polarized light 8a and 8b transmitted through the Faraday rotator 6 are reflected point-symmetrically at a point R on the surface of the mirror 7 on the opposite side to the incident angle, and are shown in FIGS. 4, 6D, and 7E. ), The respective propagation positions are switched before and after the reflection.
- the reflection point (the one point R) on the mirror 7 and the optical axis X4 of the lens 4 are identical in the light propagation direction (z-axis direction).
- the mirror 7 and the lens 4 are positioned and arranged so as to be on the line.
- the lens 4 is positioned so that the center positions of the two linearly polarized light 8 a and 8 b are equidistant from the optical axis X4 of the lens 4.
- the reflection point R in the optical fiber birefringence compensation mirror 1 and the reflection point R in the optical fiber birefringence compensation mirror 10 of the present embodiment do not coincide with each other when viewed from the z-axis direction. It can be seen that the reflection point R in the optical fiber birefringence compensation mirror 10 is shifted in the x-axis direction. This is because the linearly polarized light 8a is shifted in the x-axis direction by adding the second birefringent element 9 in the optical fiber birefringence compensating mirror 10.
- the two linearly polarized light 8 a and 8 b are shifted by the same distance by the two birefringent elements 3 and 9 before the two linearly polarized lights 8 a and 8 b enter the lens 4. Therefore, the optical path length difference between the two linearly polarized light 8 a and 8 b generated when the first birefringent element 3 is separated is eliminated before the two linearly polarized light 8 a and 8 b enter the lens 4.
- the reflected two linearly polarized lights 8a and 8b are transmitted again through the Faraday rotator 6, whereby the polarization directions of the two linearly polarized lights 8a and 8b are further rotated by 45 degrees in the same direction (FIG. 7 ( See F)). Therefore, the polarization planes of the two linearly polarized light 8a and 8b that have passed through the Faraday rotator 6 after being reflected by the mirror 7 are rotated by 90 degrees with respect to the polarization plane before entering the Faraday rotator 6 shown in FIG. You can see that.
- the two linearly polarized light 8a and 8b emitted from the Faraday rotator 6 pass through the lens 4 again, and are emitted at positions symmetrical with respect to the optical axis X4 of the lens 4. Further, the light beam axis is emitted from the lens 4 so as to be parallel to the z-axis.
- the two linearly polarized light 8 a and 8 b are incident on the second birefringent element 9 again.
- the polarization planes of the two linearly polarized light 8a and 8b that have been reflected by the mirror 7 and transmitted through the Faraday rotator 6 are 90 degrees with respect to the polarization plane before being incident on the Faraday rotator 6 shown in FIG. Since it is rotated, the polarization direction of the linearly polarized light 8a becomes a linearly polarized light orthogonal to the crystal axis X92 direction, and the polarization direction of one linearly polarized light 8b becomes a linearly polarized light parallel to the crystal axis X92 direction.
- the linearly polarized light 8b becomes an extraordinary ray inside the second birefringent element 9, and is shifted in the horizontal direction as shown in FIGS. 7 (F) and 7 (G).
- the linearly polarized light 8a becomes an ordinary ray inside the second birefringent element 9 and is not shifted, but goes straight as an ordinary ray.
- the two linearly polarized lights 8a and 8b are incident on the first birefringent element 3 again from the surface 3b.
- the plane of polarization of the linearly polarized light 8a which was an ordinary ray in the second birefringent element 9, is parallel to the direction of the crystal axis X32. Therefore, since the linearly polarized light 8a transmitted through the second birefringent element 9 with an ordinary ray becomes an extraordinary ray in the first birefringent element 3, the linearly polarized light 8a is shifted in the y-axis direction (FIG. 7G). (See (H)).
- the plane of polarization of the linearly polarized light 8b transmitted through the second birefringent element 9 with extraordinary rays is perpendicular to the crystal axis X92, so that the linearly polarized light 8b shifts the first birefringent element 3 as an ordinary ray. It goes straight without passing through. In this way, the two linearly polarized light 8a and 8b are recombined into one light as shown in FIG. 7 (H).
- the recombined light is emitted from one surface 3 a of the first birefringent element 3, enters the core 2 b of the optical fiber 2, propagates through the optical fiber 2, and is re-applied to a sensor optical fiber such as a current sensor. Propagated.
- the outgoing light from the optical fiber 2 is separated into two linearly polarized light beams 8a and 8b orthogonal to each other, and the two orthogonally polarized light beams 8a and 8b orthogonal to each other are separated. It is an optical path configuration for reflecting in point symmetry. That is, since the polarization directions of the two linearly polarized lights 8a and 8b are orthogonal at the point-symmetrical reflection by the mirror 7, the interference is eliminated and the generation of a plurality of coupled peak positions can be prevented. Therefore, it becomes easy to find the optimum coupling position, and the alignment assembly work is facilitated.
- the two linearly polarized light 8 a and 8 b are shifted by the same distance by the two birefringence elements 3 and 9. Therefore, the optical path length difference between the two linearly polarized light 8a and 8b generated when the first birefringent element 3 is separated is compensated by the second birefringent element 9, and the two linearly polarized light 8a and 8b are applied to the lens 4.
- the optical path length difference is eliminated before entering. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the coupling efficiency from being deteriorated due to the focal position shift of the lens.
- the optical path is configured so that the ordinary ray and the extraordinary ray are switched by reflection by the mirror 7 and rotation of the polarization plane of 90 degrees by the Faraday rotator 6. Since the polarized light located directly on the Poincare sphere is incident on the optical fiber 2 with respect to the arbitrary polarized light, it is possible to compensate for the birefringence generated in the optical fiber 2.
- the optical fiber birefringence compensating mirror 10 also uses the Faraday rotator 6. However, even if the Faraday rotator 6 has temperature characteristics and wavelength characteristics, the orthogonal polarization planes of the two linearly polarized lights 8a and 8b. Therefore, the birefringence generated in the optical fiber 2 is compensated.
- the optical fiber 2 can be birefringent by optically connecting the optical fiber birefringence compensation mirror 10 to a current sensor or the like. Since it is compensated, fluctuations in the measurement result due to vibration caused by the photoelasticity of the optical fiber for the sensor itself are suppressed, and vibration resistance is improved.
- a silica-based optical fiber which has a higher birefringence than an optical fiber containing lead oxide, as a sensor optical fiber. Can be formed.
- FIG. 21 shows the temperature dependence of the measured current value output from the current sensor connected to the optical fiber birefringence compensation mirror 10 as a specific error-temperature characteristic.

It is a ratio error in the measured value of the current to be measured output from.
- the temperature dependence of the current sensor is further improved as compared with the first embodiment by connecting the optical fiber birefringence compensating mirror 10, and almost no temperature range from ⁇ 20 degrees to 80 degrees.
