A magnetic sensor, using a Hollow core-photonic crystal fiber infiltrated by a small amount of a magnetic nanofluid Fe3O4, is designed. The optical properties of this kind of fiber and the relation between the magnetic field and the magnetic nanofluid are employed to build the sensor. Laser light with the wavelength 674 nm is used to conduct the setup. A linear response in the wavelength-shift, of the transmitted spectrum corresponding to the applied magnetic field, is obtained. The wavelength-shift maintains its linearity throughout a range of magnetic field (0-245) Oe. The magnetic sensor shows a significant sensitivity about 19.03 m/Oe.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
