Description

Magnetic field gradient detection method based on magneto-optical effect in optical microcavity
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of magneto-optical detection, in particular to a magnetic field gradient detection method based on magneto-optical effect in an optical microcavity.
Background
An optical microcavity is a micron-scale device with highly localized characteristics of the optical field, where the optical field interacts strongly with the magnetic field. In the spherical optical microcavity, the whispering gallery mode is an important mode in the existence of an optical field, and in the ray optics angle, the whispering gallery mode has total reflection of light. Furthermore, the stability requirements of the light field are: in the echo wall optical microcavity, the optical path length generated in one cycle of photon operation is integral multiple of the photon wavelength. The frequency corresponding to the wavelength is the eigenfrequency of the whispering gallery mode and also the maximum absorption frequency when the whispering gallery microcavity is swept.
The characteristic of high localization of photons in the echo wall microcavity makes the photons in the echo wall microcavity more stable, but this also brings a difficult problem: the optical field in the echo wall microcavity is difficult to detect.
Only the optical field with the frequency which meets the condition that the optical path is integral multiple of the wavelength can exist stably in the whispering gallery mode, and the magnetic wave excited by the external magnetic field can change the magnetic conductivity and further change the refractive index of the cavity. The difference in refractive index change between adjacent cavities is proportional to the magnetic field gradient between the two points. And the frequency difference of the emergent light, namely the beat frequency, is proportional to the refractive index difference.
In the traditional magnetic field gradient detection scheme, radio frequency signals or electric signals are used for bearing detection information, the anti-electromagnetic interference capability is poor, and signals cannot be remotely processed;
