Abstract

This paper proposes an original model of a polarimetric current sensor, in which the measuring coil was made of a single mode telecommunication optical fiber ITU-T G.652, G.653, G.655, and G.657. This sensor was subjected to the commercialization process, which was carried out by a company combining the functionality of a technology transfer center with the capabilities of the Startit Fund Sp. z o.o. The published results included the analysis of the implementation readiness, the analysis of the market potential, the valuation of the industrial property rights of the invention and indicated further directions of scientific research on the sensor, which include the frequency analysis of measurement signals. This prompted the conduct of relevant scientific research. In this paper, the idea of measurement of current using polarimetric current sensor with optical fiber coil has been briefly characterized. It shows the definition and basic properties of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). It discusses the technique of determining the value of each harmonic of signal at the input and output of polarimetric current sensor. The value of measurement errors and total harmonic distortion (THD) have been calculated. The general conclusions for disturbances in the processing realized in polarimetric current sensor have been formulated. In addition, the impact of the molar concentration of the dopant GeO
