ABSTRACT:
A system for lightning detection is provided. The lightning detection system includes a conductor configured to receive a lightning strike and transmit a lightning induced current. The system also includes a fiber optic current sensor configured to detect multiple lightning parameters from the lightning induced current and to modulate a beam of radiation in response thereto. The system further includes an electro-optic module configured to receive and convert the beam of radiation from the fiber optic current sensor to an electrical signal.
