Magnetic field interaction with guided light for detection of an active gaseous medium within an optical fiber

Abstract: We report a novel fiber-optic sensing architecture for the detection of paramagnetic gases. By interacting a modulated magnetic field with guided light within a microstructured optical fiber, it is possible to exploit Faraday Rotation Spectroscopy (FRS) within unprecedentedly small sample volumes. This approach, which utilizes magnetic circular birefringence and magnetic circular dichroism effects, is applied to a photonic bandgap fiber to detect molecular oxygen and operates at a wavelength of 762.309 nm.

“…The Zeeman splitting transitions involving Δ M J = +1 and Δ M J = −1 interact with RHCP and LHCP lights, respectively. The polarization plane of linearly polarized light is rotated (Faraday effect) due to the difference in the refractive index (i.e., MCB) between LHCP and RHCP lights, where the rotation angle is proportional to the concentration of paramagnetic molecules. , …”
