A high-sensitivity optical fiber dual-direction weak magnetic field sensor based on SULPMG is proposed, capable of measuring weak magnetic field intensity in different directions, with wide application prospects.
A high-sensitivity optical fiber dual-direction weak magnetic field sensor based on a structural modulated ultralong period microfiber grating (SULPMG) is proposed. The SULPMG was fabricated by an electric arc discharge and flame-heating drawing method, and the sensor was fabricated by cascading the SULPMG with a core offset section. By tuning the direction of an applied magnetic field, the refractive index of a magnetic fluid (MF) can be tuned accordingly. The transmission spectral response of the proposed sensor was measured and analyzed. For the weak magnetic field intensity range from 0 mT to 7 mT, the obtained magnetic field sensitivity is -1.759 nm/mT and 1.082 nm/mT when the magnetic field is perpendicular or parallel to the light propagation direction, respectively. Theoretical analysis shows that reducing the waist diameter can further improve the sensitivity of the sensor. The proposed sensor is expected to be applied to weak magnetic field measurements in the aviation, vehicle detection and biomedical fields.
