Abstract

At both ends parts of a specified section of a high tension line and close to it, a first Faraday device and a second Faraday device are disposed, and an output end of the first Faraday device is connected to the input end of the second Faraday device through a polarization plane retaining type optical fiber. A light having a linear-polarized polarization plane is inputted from a polarizer to the input end of the first Faraday device. The light output from the second Faraday device is led through an analyzer to a photoelectric device, whose output is processed by an electric circuit consisting of only one band-pass filter, only one DC filter, only one divider, and a judgment circuit.
