摘要
提出一种使用磁性液体的新型光纤Sagnac磁场传感器。磁性液体具有磁致可变双折射效应和二向色性,在外加磁场作用下,液体中的磁性纳米粒子沿磁场方向结链规则排列,形成各向异性。将其制成液体薄膜,放入具有一段保偏光纤的Sagnac环中,使光纤Saganc干涉仪的正弦形状干涉光谱可随外磁场变化。光纤中传输光垂直经过磁性液体薄膜,在外加磁场与磁性液体薄膜平面平行时,传输光产生双折射现象,干涉光谱的峰值波长随着外加磁场的变化而变化。传感器灵敏度与磁性液体薄膜厚度有关,对于60 μm的磁性液体薄膜,灵敏度为16.7 pm/Oe(1 Oe≈79.578 A/m),分辨率为0.60 Oe。而在外加磁场与磁性液体平面垂直时,干涉光谱的峰值波长几乎不随外加磁场的变化而变化。
Abstract
An optical fiber Sagnac magnetic field sensor based on magnetic fluid is proposed. The magnetic fluid exhibits magneto-optic birefringence under external magnetic field, in which the nanoparticles form chains along the magnetic field and cause the anisotropy. The interference spectrum of the sensor shifts with the external magnetic field due to the magnetic fluid film inserted in the Sagnac loop together with a section of polarization maintaining fiber. The output spectrum shifts with the variation of magnetic field strength when the plane of the magnetic fluid is perpendicular to the direction of the light and parallel to the direction of the external magnetic field. The achieved sensitivity and resolution of the sensor, which are related to the thickness of the magnetic film, are 16.7 pm/Oe (1 Oe≈79.578 A/m) and 0.60 Oe for 60 μm thickness, respectively. When the plane of the magnetic fluid is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field, the output spectrum does not shift with the variation of the magnetic field strength.
