Multichannel all fiber current sensor based on the single polarimetric detection and loop scheme

A multichannel all fiber current sensor that can be used to measure currents at different positions simultaneously is presented in the paper. Each sensor head uses single-polarization single-mode devices and loop scheme to realize current measurement. All the sensor heads are connected via a series structure and the measured results are received by only one photo-detector based on the principle of time-division multiplexing. Theory and experiment prove that the sensor is feasible.
