High Extinction Ratio Magneto-Optical Fiber Modulator Based on Nanoparticle Magnetic Fluids

A novel magneto-optical fiber modulator with a high extinction ratio (ER) based on a polarization interference structure is proposed. A magnetic fluid (MF) film and a section of a polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) are inserted into the structure to generate a suitable sinusoidal interference spec...
