A fiber optic magnetic field sensor based on Co doped ZnO nanorods is proposed and demonstrated. The sensor has an operating magnetic field range of 17 mT to 180 mT and shows a maximum sensitivity of ∼18% for 15 at% Co doped ZnO nanorods.

Cobalt doping enhances visible absorption in ZnO nanoparticles as a result of d–d transitions. By co-precipitation method, Zn1−xCoxO nanoparticles had been synthesised and multiband photodetectors were fabricated after characteristic analysis.
