Gp. Sigal et By. Sokolov, FABRICATION OF A NICKEL COATING FOR A MAGNETOSTRICTION OPTIC-FIBER MAGNETIC-FIELD TRANSDUCER, Instruments and experimental techniques, 37(2), 1994, pp. 250-251
Magnetostriction transducers of magnetic field have been fabricated by
coating multimode optical fibers with nickel. The transducer length i
s 30 cm, the thickness of the nickel coating is 140-220 mum, the sensi
tivity on the initial portion of the magnetization curve is approximat
ely 24 deg/m.Oe. With new phase-shift detectors, an optic-fiber magnet
ometer with a sensitivity threshold of approximately 10(-6) Oe can be
built around such a transducer.
