We developed highly accurate optical magnetic field sensor probes. New probe-type sensors 5 mm in width were designed, using a confocal optical system with two drum-shaped ball lenses. BiRIG films were prepared by the LPE method. We found a new garnet composition, Bi_<0.98>Gd_<0.92>La_<0.03>Y_<1.07>Fe_<4.72>Ga_<0.28>O_<12>, that showed high temperature stability for sensitivities less than 2.0% from -20℃ to +80℃. The linearity error of the sensor output was obtained within 1.0% for alternating magnetic fields from 5.0 Oe to 450 Oe. We also developed optical current transformers (OCTs), using this sensor and a permalloy magnetic core with a 6 mm air gap. The sensitivity of the new OCTs is about four times higher than that of our previous ones. The OCTs showed high performance in practical use.
