An Optical Fiber Sensor and Its Application in UAVs for Current Measurements

Abstract: In this paper, we propose and experimentally investigate an optical sensor based on a novel combination of a long-period fiber grating (LPFG) with a permanent magnet to measure electrical current in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The proposed device uses a neodymium magnet attached to the grating structure, which suffers from an electromagnetic force produced when the current flows in the wire of the UAV engine. Therefore, it causes deformation on the sensor and thus, different shifts occur in the resonant b… Show more

“…Magnetic field sensors based on the force effect on a permanent magnet have been used for current sensing. Simple devices such as [39], [40], [41], [42] suffer from poor sensitivity and poor accuracy. However, the old definition of the ampere was based on force, and the Kibble balance was a very accurate instrument.…”
