Description
Summary:Abstract A magnetic field sensor based on Fabry–Pérot interferometer (FPI) with soft gold magnetic composite film (GMCF) is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. GMCF is fabricated by Fe 3 O 4 -doped polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film and adhered thin gold membrane via van der Waals force. Applying an external magnetic field, GMCF can vibrate under magnetic forces and cause a change in the cavity length of FPI and hence modulates the interference spectra. Experimental results indicate that the sensor can achieve maximum sensitivity of 390 pm mT −1 under a linear magnetic field intensity ranging from 0 to 65 mT. The proposed sensor could help with magnetic field detection in complex environments.
