Tunable magneto–optic modulation based on magnetically responsive nanostructured magnetic fluid

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/20/10/107501

Abstract Magnetic fluid is a kind of functional composite material with nanosized structure and unique optical properties. The tunable magneto-optic modulation of magnetic fluid under external magnetic field, achieved by adjusting the polarization direction of incident light, is investigated theoretically and experimentally in this work. The corresponding modulation depth and response time are obtained. The accompanying mechanisms are clarified by using the theory of dichroism of magnetic fluid and the aggregation/disintegration processes of magnetic particles within magnetic fluid when the external magnetic field turns on/off.

Keywords: magnetic fluid tunable magneto-optic modulation modulation depth response time
