The utility model discloses an
optical fiber magnetic field sensor based on an F-P interferometer. The
optical fiber magnetic field sensor is composed of a single-mode
optical fiber, a capillary
glass tube and an annular
nickel film.
Welding a section of capillary
glass tube between two sections of single-mode optical fibers, and plating two
layers of superposed annular
nickel films on the surface of the capillary
glass tube at intervals; when the sensor is placed in an external
magnetic field environment, the annular
nickel film deforms due to the
magnetostriction characteristic of nickel, and the deformation enables the thin inner wall of the capillary glass tube to also deform, so that the cavity length of the interferometer is changed, namely the
free spectral range of the F-P interferometer is changed, and finally the
reflection spectrum of the sensor drifts; the change of the external magnetic
field intensity can be demodulated by recording the drifting of the
reflection spectrum of the sensor through the optical
fiber spectrometer; the annular nickel films can attract each other due to
magnetization of a magnetic field, and the capillary glass tube is easier to deform, so that the change of the cavity length of the interferometer is more obvious, the thin inner wall of the capillary glass tube is easier to deform compared with the thick inner wall of the capillary glass tube, and the sensitivity of the sensor is further improved. The optical
fiber magnetic field sensor based on the F-P interferometer has the advantages of being high in sensitivity, resistant to
electromagnetic interference, simple to manufacture, compact in structure and the like, and can be used for sensing measurement of magnetic
field intensity.
