We find that sensors exploiting the Faraday effect in single-mode optical fibers are practical means of measuring large currents in the MFE environment. Work still needs to be done to overcome the effects of linear birefringence. We have seen distortion caused by dynamic stress-induced birefringence and shown the importance of physically eliminating it because of the difficulty of treating it analytically.
