Due to the optical fiber have a small diameter and it can propagate light efficiently, it is possible to realize ultra‐compact remote sensors. We have invented to the fiber‐optic pressure sensor utilizes magneto‐optical effect with polarized light, ring‐type interferometer and a magnetic material, in order to propose the pressure measurement system which can measure in vivo or in harsh environments. We have confirmed that the prototype sensor based on magneto‐optical effect was possible to detect pressures in range of −4 to +40 kPa.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
