Measuring system and measuring cell for making magnetic field measurements

摘要

A process and apparatus for measuring a magnetic field based on the Faraday effect rotation of a light beam passing through a ferrimagnetic coating subject to a magnetic field to be measured is shown. The magnetization direction within the ferrimagnetic coating is coherently oriented by applying a high amplitude alternating magnetic field oriented in accordance with the axis of the light beam. This is followed by a progressive reduction of the amplitude of this magnetic field and the magnetic field to be measured is compensated. A system and a measuring cell making it possible to perform said process is also shown.
