[0065] In an exemplary embodiment, a method for measuring the magnetization intensity of an optical fiber magnetic fluid is provided, and the method for measuring the magnetization intensity of an optical fiber magnetic fluid is implemented by using an optical fiber magnetic fluid magnetization intensity measuring device. The method for measuring the magnetization intensity of an optical fiber magnetic fluid comprises:

[0066] The broadband light source is controlled to emit a detection light signal, and the magnetic field control device is controlled to apply a directional magnetic field to the sensor head.

[0070] I=A 2 +B 2 +2ABcos(2Φ).

[0071] A=R1 1 / 2 .

[0072] B=(1-α)(1-R1)R2 1 / 2 .

[0073] Φ=2πnL / λ.

[0074] Wherein, I is the function corresponding to the interference spectrum; A is the mathematical expression corresponding to the first reflection surface; B is the mathematical expression corresponding to the second reflection surface; Φ is the phase difference between the two light beams in the Fabry-Perot interferometer cavity; R1 is the reflectivity of the first reflection surface; α is the intracavity transmission loss of the Fabry-Perot interferometer; R2 is the reflectivity of the second reflection surface; n is the refractive index of the cavity medium of the Fabry-Perot interferometer; L is the cavity length of the Fabry-Perot interferometer; λ is the wavelength of the incident light.

[0084] Among them, Δλ is the wavelength drift.

[0085] The working principle of the sensor head provided in this application can be analyzed by a double-beam interference model, and its interference spectrum is as follows: Figure 4 As shown. The interference spectrum function of the sensor head can be expressed as:

[0086] I=A 2 +B 2 +2ABcos(2Φ) (1)

A directional magnetic field H is applied to the sensor head through the magnetic field control device. The magnetic fluid to be measured extends in a directional manner under the action of the magnetic field H, generating a force P applied to the UV film, which can be expressed as:

The relationship between the wavelength drift Δλ of the interference spectrum of the sensor head and the magnetization intensity m of the magnetic fluid to be measured can be expressed as:

[0095]

[0096] From formula (4), we can know that by demodulating the wavelength drift Δλ of the sensor head interference spectrum, we can accurately measure the magnetization intensity m of the magnetic fluid to be measured. We can also compare it with the database spectrum to analyze the composition of the magnetic fluid to be measured. The spectra of the sensor head under different magnetic fluid filling conditions are as follows: Figure 5 shown.
