This thesis, titled "Characterization and development of electric sensors for electrical applications in high voltage lines" was developed in a PhD program in Electrical Engineering. Fix the devices and characterized the magneto-optical current sensors for measurement applications and protection in high power systems, namely, prism sensor and photonic glass fiber (PCF) sensor. Both are based on the Faraday effect, using a double quadrature polarimetric configuration. This work was then divided in two moments. In the first, a prism sensor, consisting of a portable sensor head for anchoring in the transmission line was developed, in Portugal, for an industrial application. In this case, no prism sensor prototype was used in a Schott SF57 glass prism 8cm in length with high Verdet constant and low birefringence. It has been incorporated into a Nylon casing suitable for fastening applications in the power line. The operation of the sensor is characterized and compared using Super Luminescent Diodes (SLD) as a source of 650, 830 and 1550 nm. Class 1 precision sensor for nominal currents of 900 ARMS or higher and classes 0,1 and 0,2 for nominal currents of 1,2 kARMS and 0,3 kARMS, respectively, and the possibility of detecting impulses in the network of 10 Μs. Second, another type of wrapping, the use of optical fibers as a transition element, using highly rotated fibers at 4, 6, 9, and 11 revolutions per second, developed by the group of the Laboratory of Special Fibers and Photonic Materials - LaFE, from the Institute of Physics Gleb Wataghin of UNICAMP, Brazil. In particular, these lines were tested as a whole on an electric conductor using three winding sizes of 6, 12 and 18 cm in diameters with different turns, with currents of up to 800 ARMS using an SLD source at 650 nm. Parameters, such as sensitivity and linearity of the sensor, were investigated. A symbolic analysis was also performed to quantitatively analyze the fiber sensitivity value with respect to the number of turns and with respect to the diameter of the support, there is no conclusion that there is a compromise between these two parameters in order to obtain a better response in the signal of sensor output.

Desenvolvimento de sensores baseados em fibra óptica para monitoramento estrutural
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-04-01) FERNANDES, Cindy Stella; GIRALDI, Maria Thereza Miranda Rocco; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0270661833822671; COSTA, João Crisóstomo Weyl Albuquerque; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9622051867672434
The research and development of systems for measuring physical and mechanical parameters of structural health, allows the early detection of collapses, deterioration process and other natural and / or caused by man factors. In this case, real-time measurements of these parameters are crucial for identification, localization and quantification of damages, and also improve the maintenance and safety of such structures. Curvature and vibration measurements are important to structural monitoring due to their relationship with the dynamic responses of engineering structures. In this thesis, core diameter mismatch structures are proposed and experimentally investigated for curvature and vibration sensing. Among the analyzes, two settings exhibited improved performance, one approach uses a structure formed by splicing an uncoated short section of multimode fiber between two standard single mode fibers (SMS), combined to an optical fiber mirror at its end, and the other approach is made by the sandwich of one single mode fiber section between two short multimode fiber sections, spliced between two standard single mode fibers (SMSMS). The SMS device is analyzed through experimental measurements and numerical simulations. In the curvature analysis, the proposed SMS sensor generates destructive interference patterns whether it is bent, varying only the attenuation of the optical signal without wavelength shifts. Numerical modeling is performed using the finite difference beam propagation method by means of the BeamProp 9.0 software of Rsoft™ company. In the experimental vibration analysis, the SMSMS sensor is formed by two MMF sections that act as coupler and re-coupler of core-cladding modes, and the SMF section in the middle acts as the "arm" of interference. So the cladding modes that propagate in the SMF middle section become sensitive to the applied frequencies. The SMSMS vibration sensor proved to be suitable to monitor very low frequencies such as 0.1 Hz. The proposed sensors configurations present several interesting features, such as easy fabrication, low-cost, high-efficiency, and high sensitivity. Although the manufacturing process of the structures is not very precise, which affects its reproducibility, such sensors very useful in a wide range of applications, such as structural health monitoring.
