Publicación Restringido Micromachined optical fiber current sensor(OSA (The Optical Society) Publishing, 1999-09-01) López Heredero, R.; Fernández de Caleya, R. F.; Guerrero, H.; Los Santos, P.; Cruz Acero, M.; Esteve, J.; 0000-0002-2197-8388; 0000-0001-9440-7984; 0000-0003-2922-3489; 0000-0002-2131-1081We describe a micromachined optical fiber current sensor. The sensing element consists of a squared silicon membrane (8 mm long and 20 µm thick) that has a cylindrical permanent magnet (NdFeB alloy, 3-mm diameter, 1.5 mm high) fixed on its central region. This structure allows the permanent magnet to vibrate in the presence of the magnetic field gradient generated by an ac. A linear relation between the electrical current and the magnet displacement was measured with white-light interferometry with an optical fiber low-finesse Fabry–Perot microcavity. A measurement range of 0–70 A and a minimum detectable intensity of 20 mA were obtained when distance D between the membrane and the electrical power line was 5 mm. The output signal directly shows a linear response with distance D.
