The magneto-optical testing station enables testing of fiber optic current and magnetic field sensors and their components. In particular, it is used to study the magneto-optical effect of both bulk samples and fiber optics. The laboratory is equipped with developed and tested magnetic field sources and optoelectronic measurement systems. The laboratory also has some technological capabilities to make prototypes of optical current transformers for measurement and protection purposes in power networks.

Equipping the station with a current generator and instrumentation for building appropriate current circuits enables, among others, testing of optical current sensors (optical current transformers).

Elements included in the station:

Current booster 5 kW, up to 1.25 kA;
AC power supply, operating frequency up to 5 kHz, maximum current 10 A;
PM splicer with the possibility of splicing fibers with a sheath diameter of up to 0.5 mm;
Teslameter with 1-axis and 3-axis probe, operating frequency up to 5 kHz;
Polarization state analyzer for the visible and telecommunications range;
Optical table equipped with appropriate optomechanics.

Pricing (netto):

Characterization of magneto-optical properties of optical materials in the Vis-NIR spectral range: from PLN 500 net/hour
Testing of optical current transformers: from PLN 600 net/hour
