OpticAmpere's fiber optic current sensors (FOCS) are made with single-mode (SM) and polarization maintaining (PM) fiber optic cables and components which have been engineered for telecom applications with a proven history of reliable performance.
OpticAmpere's "StarFOCS" polarimetric controller technology renders legacy interferometric FOCS methodologies obsolete, as OpticAmpere's proprietary "StarFOCS" full spectrum analzyers, and real-time optical output monitoring, characterize the linear birefringence of the single-mode FOCS modules for calibrated online Faraday rotation measurements based on the major axis rotation of elliptically polarized light.
The advantages of the OpticAmpere StarFOCS system also extend to environmental monitoring, as the real-time effects of temperature or vibrations are measured along with polarization rotation, as the FOCS' linear and circular birefringence levels are measured with independent analog channels, rendering the polarimetric Faraday rotation measurements immune to the effects of temperature and vibration.
