Magnetic-field Sensor Based on Tapered All-solid Waveguide-array Fiber and Magnetic Fluids

摘要

A compact fiber-optic magnetic-field sensor based on tapered all-solid waveguide-array fiber (WAF) and magnetic fluid (MF) has been proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The transmission spectra of the fiber-optic magnetic field sensor have been measured and analyzed under different magnetic field intensities. Experimental results show that the acquired magnetic field sensitivity is 44.57 pm/Oe for a linear magnetic field intensity range from 50 Oe to 200 Oe. It also indicates that the magnetic field sensor based on tapered all-solid WAF and MF is helpful to reduce temperature cross-sensitivity for the measurement of magnetic field.
