Patent ID: 11609282

Abstract:
A chip-type three-dimensional magnetic field sensor includes a light source (1), an input straight waveguide (2), a polarization beam splitting waveguide (3), a 1:1 power beam splitter (4), three 1:2 type Y waveguides, three 2:1 type Y waveguides, three output straight waveguides, three magneto-optical waveguides and three photodetectors. The light source (1) outputs broad-spectrum depolarized light into the input straight waveguide (2), and then the light is divided into TE (transverse electric) polarized light and TM (transverse magnetic) polarized light. The TE polarized light is divided into two beams of TE polarized branch light. The TM polarized light is divided into two beams of TM polarized branch light. One of the two beams of TM polarized branch light is divided into two beams of first TM polarized sub-branch light. Another of the two beams of TM polarized branch light is divided into two beams of second TM polarized sub-branch light.
