| Summary: | Low current sensitivity and insufficient system robustness are two significant obstacles preventing widespread use of all-fiber current sensors (AFCSs). We demonstrate a novel AFCS combining a fiber-loop architecture and a reflection scheme. The design has not only the capable of increasing current sensitivity comparably to an AFCS-based fiber-loop scheme but also robustness against temperature changes and vibrations owing to compensation by the reflective component, the ortho-conjugate retroreflector. This AFCS aims to overcome the two aforementioned obstacles simultaneously, as demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally. |
