Abstract
Several surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors in optical fibers have been presented for the detection of magnetic fields. These SPR sensors measure the variation of the refractive index of a magnetic fluid in contact to the metal film, when the magnetic field changes. In this work, we have presented a different approach to monitor a magnetic field exploiting SPR optical fiber sensors and ferrofluids. More specifically, we have inserted a patch of multimode plastic optical fiber (POF) covered with ferrofluids between a light source and an SPR-POF sensor connected to a spectrometer. The magnetic field in the region near the patch covered by ferrofluids exerts a bending force on the patch changing the light in input to the SPR sensor and modifying the SPR phenomenon, in terms of resonance’s shape and wavelength.
