Equalization of Intensity-Modulated Fiber-Optic Voltage Sensors for Power Distribution Systems

We test fiber-optic voltage sensors based on optical reflection from a piezoelectric transducer. Our specific devices possess a 2 kHz fundamental resonance, and we verify a readily usable frequency band from approximately 10 Hz to 3 kHz, with a dynamic range of 60 dB for a detection system integrating over this entire band. Additionally, we demonstrate a digital signal processing approach to equalize the measured frequency response, enabling accurate retrieval of short-pulse inputs. These results suggest the value and applicability of intensity-modulated fiber-optic voltage sensors for measuring both steady-state waveforms and broadband transients which, coupled with the straightforward and compact design of the sensors, should make them effective tools in electric grid monitoring.
