Characteristics of All-Optical-Fiber Magnetic Field Sensor Based on Magnetic Fluid Coating and Cooling Tapering

This paper proposes an all-optical-fiber high-precision magnetic field sensor based on magnetic fluid coating and cooling tapering to improve the sensitivity of optical fiber sensors in magnetic field detection and realizes high-precision real-time monitoring of field intensity under a weak magnetic field.The intermittent cooling method in the tapering process enhances the quality of the interference spectrum conveniently and slows the air-hole collapse of the photonic crystal fiber.Because of its simple manufacturing process,strong maneuverability,high sensitivity,and low degree of loss,the sensor realizes real-time online detection in a high-sensitivity magnetic field.Finally,the influence of the temperature variation of the sensor is discussed.Experimental results show that the photonic crystal fiber obtains a good interference spectrum at a tapering length of 5.5 mm and waist diameter of 75μm.The sensor exhibits a highly linear response to external magnetic fields ranging from 0 to 78 Oe(1 Oe■79.578 A·m-1)with a sensitivity of 95 pm·Oe-1.The degree of linear fitting is approximately 98.31%.
