Abstract
We demonstrate a common-mode rejection scheme for a bulk-optic triangu lar Faraday current sensor that can eliminate optical noise induced by fiber-link vibration. The noise floor before applying common rejectio n was about 30 dB for a 100 Angstrom Faraday signal and transceiver vi bration levels of approximately 30 g. This was reduced to about 60 dB for the same vibration levels. The sensor's exploitation of Ampere's c ircuital law is also demonstrated.
