A kind of all-fiber magnetic field sensing structure is proposed and demonstrated here. The sensing element includes a microfiber knot resonator (MKR) cladded with magnetic fluid (MF). The low-index MgF₂ slab is adopted as the substrate. The sensitivity increases with the decrease of the MKR ring diameter. The achieved maximum magnetic field sensitivity is 277 pm/mT. The results of this work have the potential to promote the development of magnetically controllable optical devices and the design of ultra-compact cost-effective magnetic field sensors.
本文提出并演示了一种全光纤磁场传感结构。传感元件包括微光纤结谐振器(MKR),其外部包裹有磁流体(MF)。低折射率的 MgF₂ 平板被用作衬底。灵敏度随 MKR 环直径的减小而增加。所实现的最大磁场灵敏度为 277 pm/mT。这项工作的结果有望推动磁控光学器件的发展和超紧凑、具有成本效益的磁场传感器的设计。
