Investigation Of Potential Industrial And Commercial Applications Of The Fiber Fabry-Perot Interferometric Optical Sensor
Abstract
This research project possesses the possibility for a very real impact to the electric power industry. This paper will focus most directly on the evaluation of the Fiber Fabry- Perot Interferometer (FFPI) in applications as a temperature sensor and a voltage sensor in conjunction with a Piezo-electric transducer (PZT). The three parameters most fully addressed are voltage, current, and temperature monitoring and measurement with their implications for safe, efficient control of an electric power system. A possible current sensing application using the Fiber Fabry-Perot Interferometer (FFPI) with a magneto-strictive element, analogous to the voltage sensing scheme utilizing the FFPI in conjunction with the PZT, is also introduced.
