Abstract

The measurement of the pole axis deviation angle of superconducting magnetic levitation rotors plays a crucial role in the field of high-precision navigation. This article conducts theoretical analysis and experimental research on the diffuse reflection intensity modulation principle of optical fiber sensors and the ideal diffuse reflection modulation model under ideal conditions. First, the structural distribution of optical fiber sensors is presented, and the principle of measuring the polar deviation angle of superconducting magnetic levitation rotors is analyzed. Then, based on the diffuse reflection intensity modulation principle, an optical fiber intensity modulation model for ideal superconducting magnetic levitation rotors is established. The correctness of this model was verified through simulation and calibration experiments, and the error between the simulation and experimental results was less than 8%.
