Abstract

We introduce a novel electric current sensor, which is based on a fiber Bragg grating covered by a uniform coat of aluminum thin film which was deposited on the FBG by a simple evaporation method. The Bragg wavelength of the fiber grating shifts when the current flowing through the film varies due to the Joule heat generated by the current. The relationship between the square of the current intensity and the wavelength shift is basically linear. In the experiment, the maximum current can be measured was 43.1 mA with the wavelength sift of about 4 nm and the current sensitivity was about 2.31 X 10^-3 nm/(mA)².
