High resolution and large measurement range voltage sensing based on an optoelectronic oscillator utilizing an unbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometer.
Optics Express 2024 Februrary 27
A voltage sensor with high resolution and large measurement range based on an optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The key component in the cavity to select the oscillating signal is a finite impulse response (FIR)-microwave photonic filter (MPF) which consists of a sinusoidal broadband optical signal, an unbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI), a section of dispersion compensating fiber, and a photodetector. The center frequency of the FIR-MPF is mainly determined by the free spectral range (FSR) of the FIR-MPF. In the lower arm of the MZI, a cylindrical piezoelectric ceramic (PZT) wrapped with a section of optical fiber acts as voltage sensing head. Due to the inverse piezoelectric effect of PZT, the variation of the voltage will cause radial deformation of the cylindrical PZT and then lead to the change of the FSR of the MZI, determining the shift of center frequency of FIR-MPF as well as the frequency of the oscillating signal of the OEO. Thus, by monitoring the shift of the oscillation frequency of the OEO using an electric spectrum analyzer or a digital signal processor, a high-speed interrogation and high-resolution voltage measurement can be realized. Additionally, in the proposed scheme, an infinite impulse response (IIR)-MPF consisting of a fiber ring resonator is cascaded with the FIR-MPF to ensure the single-mode oscillation of the OEO. The experimental results show that a total range of 1700 V voltage sensing from - 200 V to 1500 V is accomplished with the voltage sensitivity of 0.25 GHz/100 V and the resolution of 0.3 V. By adjusting the proportion of the length of single mode fiber between two branches of MZI, the impact of temperature can be greatly reduced. The proposed sensor offers advantages such as a large measurement range, high resolution, high-speed interrogation, and stability to temperature disturbances, making it highly suitable for sensing applications in smart grids.
