The intrinsic advantages of optical sensor technology are very appealing for high voltage applications and can become a valuable asset in a new generation of smart grids. In this paper the authors present a review of optical sensors technologies for electrical current metering in high voltage applications. A brief historical overview is given together with a more detailed focus on recent developments. Technologies addressed include all fiber sensors, bulk magneto-optical sensors, piezoelectric transducers, magnetic force sensors and hybrid sensors. The physical principles and main advantages and disadvantages are discussed. Configurations and strategies to overcome common problems, such as interference from external currents and magnetic fields induced linear birefringence and others are discussed. The state-of-the-art is presented including commercial available systems.

Recent advances in devices and applications of high-birefringence fiber loopmirror sensors are addressed. In optical sensing, these devices may be used as strain andtemperature sensors, in a separate or in a simultaneous measurement. Other describedapplications include: refractive index measurement, optical filters for interrogate gratingsstructures and chemical etching control. The paper analyses and compares different types ofhigh-birefringence fiber loop mirror sensors using conventional and microstructured opticalfibers. Some configurations are presented for simultaneous measurement of physicalparameters when combined with others optical devices, for example with a long periodgrating.

This work presents an alternative solution for simultaneous measurement of strain and temperature. The sensing head is formed by a long-period fiber grating combined with a high-birefringence fiber loop mirror resulting in a configuration capable of temperature and strain discrimination. These optical devices have opposite sensitivity responses when a variation of temperature and/or strain is applied. Maximum errors of plusmn0.8degC and plusmn21muepsiv are reported over 60 degC and 700-muepsiv measurement ranges, respectively

A Sagnac interferometer with a section of a polarization maintaining side-hole fiber for multiparameter measurement is proposed. The sensor was experimentally demonstrated to be sensitive to torsion, temperature, and longitudinal strain, simultaneously. The birefringence in the investigated side-hole fiber is induced simultaneously by the elliptical shape of a germanium-doped core and by field overlap with the air holes surrounding the core. The latter effect is purely geometrical and causes high chromatic dispersion of the group birefringence in the long wavelength range, which results in a different period of spectral interference fringes. A different wavelength response is obtained for each interference fringe peak when the fiber is subjected to torsion, temperature, or longitudinal strain. A matrix equation for simultaneous measurement of the three parameters—torsion, temperature, and longitudinal strain—is also proposed.

This paper presents the performance analysis of a sensing configuration of refractive index, based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in microstructured D-type optical fiber with a thin gold layer, using the finite-element method. The configuration is analyzed in terms of the loss and distribution Poynting vector. The results are compared with a conventional SPR D-type optical fiber sensor for refractive index measurement. The simulation results show an improvement of the sensitivity and resolution (10 × 10 3 nm/RIU and 9.8 × 10 -6 RIU, respectively, when considering an accurately spectral variation detection of 0.1 nm).
