We demonstrate a compact all-fiber-optic vector magnetometer based on Mach-Zehnder interferometer by utilizing nano-magnetic fluid filled double-clad photonic crystal fiber (DC-PCF). The magnetic fluid (MF) serving as sensing elements is injected into the micro-channel-arrays of DC-PCF. The magnetometer is constructed by splicing a section of MF-filled DC-PCF between two standard single mode fibers forming a high stable all-fiber structure without any additional sealed capillary. The vector magnetometer has the capability of simultaneous measurement of magnetic field intensity and orientation by monitoring a specific dip wavelength shift or transmission loss of Mach-Zehnder interference spectrum. The magnetometer with response sensitivities of 114.5 pm/mT, 1.79 dB/mT (X-axis) and 41.9 pm/mT, 0.52 dB/mT (Y-axis) at two particular orthogonal magnetic field orientations was fabricated and investigated.
