Abstract

A novel magnetic field sensor by using magnetic fluid film in Sagnac loop is presented. The magnetic fluid introduces controllable birefringence under external magnetic field inside the Sagnac loop to produce sinusoidal interference and the corresponding transmission spectrum shifts with the change of external field strength. Sensitivity of 11.4 pm/Oe and resolution of 0.88 Oe are achieved in the case of this proposed scheme.
