A combination fiber optic current and voltage sensor having a common source and other components. One other common component for certain configurations is the detector. Voltage sources are necessarily designed to avoid coherence and intensity problems when sharing a broadband source with a current sensor. An embodiment of a combination voltage/current sensor shares a birefringence modulator, polarizer, source, detector and electronics. A multitude of fiber optic current sensors and another multitude of fiber optic voltage sensors can share a common fiber light source.
