4), in the time that the intensity of externally-applied magnetic field changes, can be moved with respect to initial light intensity from the laser beam of metallic cover hydromagnetic wave guide structure bottom reflection.According to the movement at ATR peak, can draw the variable quantity of externally-applied magnetic field.
The involved in the present invention method of metallic cover magnetic fluid waveguide to small magnetic field sensing of utilizing, specifically comprises following several embodiment.
The first, the concentration of change magnetic fluid sample.Preparing respectively volumetric concentration is 0.079%, 0.053%, 0.0395%, 0.0316%, 12.9 × 10 -3%, 6.46 × 10 -3the Fe of six kinds of concentration such as % 3o 4sample.Magnetic fluid concentration difference, the refractive index of ducting layer magnetic fluid also can be different, under externally-applied magnetic field one stable condition, have different cluster effects, thus the change of corresponding reflective light intensity also can be different, realize the sensing to small magnetic field.
The second, the direction of change external magnetic field.When magnetic direction is during perpendicular to sample, reflective light intensity can increase.In the time that magnetic direction is parallel to sample, reflective light intensity can reduce, and can realize the sensing to small magnetic direction.
The 3rd, polarization state TE or the TM polarization of change incident light.In the time that light field is parallel with magnetic direction, be o light, it is large that external magnetic field becomes, and can make reflective light intensity to increase.In the time that light field is vertical with magnetic direction, be e light, it is large that external magnetic field becomes.Reflective light intensity diminishes.Prove the anisotropy of nanometer magnetofluid.
Fig. 3 is the location diagram of incident light of the present invention, the waveguide of metallic cover magnetic fluid and external magnetic field, and in figure, E represents electromagnetic electric field component, and H represents electromagnetic magnetic-field component, and k represents electromagnetic wave vector.As shown in Figure 3, the plane at incident light and reflected light place is called plane of incidence.Taking plane of incidence as reference, there are two kinds of putting positions in magnetic field so, and wherein magnetic direction I is positioned at plane of incidence, vertical with waveguide surface; And magnetic direction II is perpendicular to the plane of incidence.And incident light exists two kinds of polarization modes, be respectively TE and TM polarization.In Fig. 3, (a) and (b) represent respectively electromagnetic two kinds of polarization modes, i.e. TE polarization and TM polarization; I and II represent respectively two kinds of modes that apply magnetic field, i.e. magnetic direction I and magnetic direction II.Therefore, there are four kinds of situations in the method for sensing of this measuring system, for example, under TE polarization, can apply magnetic field along magnetic direction I, also can apply magnetic field along magnetic direction II.In the time of TM polarization too.
embodiment 1
Measure respectively according to said above four kinds of situations, in the time that light path is all securing, select some reflectivity minimal values, after exciting Ultra-High Order guided mode, no longer change any part of incident angle and light path, only regulate the intensity of externally-applied magnetic field, can obtain curve as shown in Figure 4.
But aforementioned four kinds of experiments arrange, and only from the relation of magnetic direction and direction of an electric field, in fact only have two kinds of situations.Magnetic direction and the perpendicular situation of electromagnetic electric field component can be called to ordinary light (o light).When the direction of the electromagnetic magnetic-field component in waveguide and externally-applied magnetic field is consistent or when contrary, be ordinary light, corresponding TM polarization, magnetic direction II and TE polarization, two kinds of situations of magnetic direction I.Magnetic direction and electromagnetic electric field component situation are in the same way called to extraordinary ray (e light).When the direction of the electromagnetic electric field component in waveguide and externally-applied magnetic field is consistent or when contrary, be extraordinary ray, corresponding TE polarization, magnetic direction II and TM polarization, two kinds of situations of magnetic direction I.
The standard as judge with magnetic direction, at this time, no longer distinguishes magnetic field and how to apply, and this can be obtained by experiment.Can obtain, for magnetic direction I, TE polarization is ordinary light, and TM polarization is extraordinary ray.Ordinary light is along with the increase of magnetic field intensity, and reflectivity reduces, and extraordinary ray is along with the increase of magnetic field intensity, and reflectivity increases.
Utilizing concentration of volume percent is 0.053% Fe 3o 4magnetic fluid sample, in the time that incident light is respectively TE, TM polarization state, opens respectively the externally-applied magnetic field of vertical and parallel direction, and variation range, from 0-24Oe, increases progressively with 1Oe.In these cases effective sensing is carried out in magnetic field.As seen from Figure 4, the Fe that concentration is 0.053% 3o 4magnetic fluid can be in four kinds of various combination situations, effective sensing being carried out in small magnetic field, and experimental data is stable, is quick on the draw, and the response time is in millisecond magnitude.
embodiment 2
As different from Example 1, the present embodiment adopts the dilution Fe of six kinds of different volumes percent concentrations 3o 4magnetic fluid, as sample, is respectively 0.079%, 0.053%, 0.0395%, 0.0316%, 12.9 × 10 -3%, 6.46 × 10 -3%.Now, incident field be called o light parallel with magnetic direction, can cause the refractive index of magnetic fluid sample to become large, and cause reflective light intensity to diminish.By detecting Fe 3o 4the variation of magnetic fluid reflectivity, realizes the effective sensing to additional small magnetic field.Small changes of magnetic field scope is from 0-24Oe.
As seen from Figure 5, the Fe that concentration is 0.079% 3o 4magnetic fluid is the sensitiveest to the sensing in small magnetic field.Magnetic fluid sample concentration is directly proportional to the sensing sensitivity to small magnetic field.Percent by volume is low to moderate 6.46 × 10 -3the Fe of % 3o 4magnetic fluid dilution still can be realized the effective sensing to small magnetic field, and experimental data is stable, and the response time is in millisecond magnitude.
embodiment 3
Utilize the dilution Fe of six kinds of different volumes percent concentrations 3o 4magnetic fluid, as sample, is respectively 0.079%, 0.053%, 0.0395%, 0.0316%, 12.9 × 10 -3%, 6.46 × 10 -3%.As different from Example 2, adopt the incident field vertical with magnetic direction, be called e light, this can cause the refractive index of magnetic fluid sample to diminish, and causes reflective light intensity to become large.By detecting magnetic fluid reflectance varies, realize the effective sensing to additional small magnetic field.Small changes of magnetic field scope is from 0-24Oe.
As seen from Figure 6, the Fe that concentration is 0.079% 3o 4magnetic fluid is the sensitiveest to the sensing in small magnetic field.Magnetic fluid sample concentration is directly proportional to the sensing sensitivity to small magnetic field.Percent by volume is low to moderate 6.46 × 10 -3the magnetic fluid dilution of % still can be realized the effective sensing to small magnetic field, and the response time is in millisecond magnitude.Can be obtained by Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, under o light action, it is large that magnetic fluid refractive index becomes, and reflective light intensity diminishes; Under e light action, magnetic fluid refractive index diminishes, and reflective light intensity diminishes.
