Abstract
A novel combination of structural design and sensing theory is proposed for an optical fiber magnetic field and temperature two-parameter sensor based on the Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) and Faraday rotation effect. The sensor structure includes a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microcavity and a small section of offset spliced fiber. Numerical analysis shows that the sensor exhibits high temperature sensitivity, which has been experimentally verified. The sensor has a temperature sensitivity of -846 pm/°C in the 20 to 35°C and a magnetic field intensity sensitivity of 190 pm/Gs in the range of 0 to 150 Gs. The temperature and magnetic field intensity responses of the sensor are linear and have been optimized for sensitivity demodulation. The sensor is well-suited for standardized monitoring of temperature and magnetic field in applications requiring accurate measurements.
