Ultra-High Voltage NV Center Magnetic Sensing System Based on Power over Fiber
Aiming to address the insulation and power supply challenges faced by electrical measurement in ultra-high voltage (UHV) environments, this study proposes and implements a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center magnetic sensing system based on Power over Fiber (PoF) technology. The system adopts a high-voltage and low-voltage separation design, realizing the isolated transmission of electrical energy and the reliable recovery of measurement signals through an optical fiber link. The sensing unit on the high-voltage side is composed of NV center sensors, microwave excitation modules, and signal processing modules. Its power supply is provided by an independently developed high-power laser power converter (LPC) assembly via 830 nm optical fiber laser transmission. Under an optical input of 10 W, this assembly can achieve an electrical output of 4.88 W with a conversion efficiency of 48.9%. The experimental results show that the system can operate stably in a simulated UHV environment; by optimizing modulation parameters, the optimal magnetic measurement sensitivity reaches 6.1 nT/Hz1/2. This research provides a safe and reliable solution for the power supply and precise sensing of high-potential side equipment in UHV scenarios, and demonstrates the application potential of PoF technology in advanced sensing for power systems.
