摘要:
A new passive and wireless magneto-optical rotational velocity sensor is described. It is based on measuring the intensity oscillations of linearly polarized light transmitted through an orthoferrite plate and an analyzer. The plate is subjected to the action of the magnetic field of a disc whose angular velocity has to be measured. Thanks to the high velocity and smooth reproducible character of the domain wall motion in the orthoferrite plate, one can continuously measure angular velocities in a very wide range-from ultralow to the MHz range.
