  • Patent number: 11782100
    Abstract: A full-polarization Faraday magnetic field sensor based on a Sagnac interference system and a modulation method are provided. The full-polarization Faraday magnetic field sensor includes a light source, an optical fiber coupler, a polarizer, a polarization beam splitter, a polarization controller, a magnetic field sensing unit, a detector and a polarization maintaining optical fiber. An optical signal is emitted by the light source, passes through the optical fiber coupler and the polarizer in sequence, and is divided into a clockwise path and an anticlockwise path by the polarization beam splitter. Angles between fast axis directions of the two polarization maintaining optical fiber loops and a polarization direction of the polarizer are respectively clockwise 45° and anticlockwise 45°. The two polarization maintaining optical fiber loops has opposite winding directions, a same diameter, and a same number of winding turns.

  • Patent number: 11358101
    Abstract: Provided are a spiral-wound gas separation membrane element, a manufacturing method therefor, a gas separation membrane module and a gas separation apparatus that include the element. The element includes a laminated body wound around a perforated central tube and including a separation membrane-flow channel member composite body. The composite body includes a gas separation membrane including a first porous layer and a hydrophilic resin composition layer. The gas separation membrane is folded with the first porous layer being located outside the hydrophilic resin composition layer. The composite body also includes a flow channel member that forms a gas flow channel, the flow channel member being sandwiched in the folded gas separation membrane. The flow channel member is provided with a first cover that covers one end portion of four end portions. The first cover is located closest to a turn-back part of the folded gas separation membrane.
