Abstract

The invention relates to a waveguide magnetic field/current sensor based on surface plasmons. The provided sensor is used for detection of a magnetic field intensity or a current intensity. The magnetic field/current sensor comprises a magnetic field generator and also comprises a first metal waveguide, a dielectric medium channel and a second metal waveguide which are arranged in the magnetic field generator from top to bottom in order. A resonant cavity is formed in the first metal waveguide and/or the second metal waveguide. The resonant cavity is communicated with the dielectric medium channel through a metal seam formed in the corresponding metal waveguide. The resonant cavity is filled with magnetic sensitive substances. The magnetic field/current sensor has the following beneficial effects: a measuring space is shrank to an order of magnitude of an optical waveguide width dimension, and the magnetic field/current sensor can be made to be very small, and facilitates integration and arraying via technicians; because the magnetic field/current sensor can be prevented from influence of external conditions of light source fluctuation or the like, the magnetic field/current sensor has high detection sensitivity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of magnetic field detection, in particular to a surface plasmon-based waveguide magnetic field / current sensor and a device thereof. Background technique [0002] As a basic physical quantity, magnetic field strength is valued by people no matter in the field of scientific research or in the field of industrial application. The measurement of magnetic field can be widely used in aerospace, information storage, environmental monitoring, navigation and energy survey, etc. Traditional electromagnetic sensors usually lack stability, are difficult to integrate with other structures, and cannot work in heavily polluted or harsh environments. On the other hand, due to the compact structure, high precision and high resolution optical fiber structure has been widely used in many fields. Therefore, optical fiber magnetic field sensing based on MF as a sensitive material is continuously being paid attention to. However, the st...
