Abstract
Magnetic field monitoring devices are essential for studying and operating high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets. Apart from conventional Hall sensor, passive optical fiber sensor is also an option for magnetic field monitoring. In this article, we proposed a novel access based on yttrium iron garnet magneto-optic (YM) sensor, which is one kind of optical fiber sensors, to measure magnetic fields generated by an HTS double pancake coil. Moreover, we used a magnetic field bypass tube made of silicon steel material to expand the measurement range of YM sensor. The test results of YM sensor in liquid nitrogen demonstrated that the YM sensor was benchmarked against Hall probe up to 24.7 mT at 77 K. Using a silicon steel tube to shield magnetic field could extend the field measurement range to 37.6 mT. YM sensor could be one of the promising methods for monitoring HTS magnet magnetic field.
