Abstract

An optical fiber magnetic field sensor based on serial-tilted-tapered fiber (STTF) integrated with magnetic fluid is proposed. The compact STTF structure consists of two closely tilted-tapered fibers with a length of approximately 836 µm, which results in stronger mode coupling. The transmission characteristics of the proposed sensor under different magnetic field intensities (MFIs) have been studied. The results show that the proposed structure has an outstanding response to MFI and that the highest sensitivity is 32.67 pm/Oe in wavelength and 0.0336 dB/Oe in transmission in the range of 0–75 Oe. The minimum resolution of the proposed sensor is up to 0.6734 Oe. These types of sensors have great potential application in weak magnetic field measurements due to their compact structure and good sensing performance.
