Abstract
A novel magnetic field sensor based on long-period fiber gratings (LPFG) coated with terbium oxide nanofilms is proposed. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation of the four-layer cylindrical waveguide’s hybrid modes is investigated to achieve highly sensitive transition regions versus the thickness and refractive index of the film coated on LPFG. In this work, uniform and dense Tb2O3 films are deposited on the LPFG using atomic layer deposition (ALD), and it shows that the sensor achieved an exceptional magnetic field sensitivity of 0.17 nm/mT when coated with 1200 layers of Tb2O3. The combination of LPFG and terbium oxide materials appears to be highly promising for applications in magnetic field sensing.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Photonics Technology Letters addresses all aspects of the IEEE Photonics Society Constitutional Field of Interest with emphasis on photonic/lightwave components and applications, laser physics and systems and laser/electro-optics technology. Examples of subject areas for the above areas of concentration are integrated optic and optoelectronic devices, high-power laser arrays (e.g. diode, CO2), free electron lasers, solid, state lasers, laser materials'' interactions and femtosecond laser techniques. The letters journal publishes engineering, applied physics and physics oriented papers. Emphasis is on rapid publication of timely manuscripts. A goal is to provide a focal point of quality engineering-oriented papers in the electro-optics field not found in other rapid-publication journals.
