Abstract
Multicore microstructured optical fibers appear to be particularly attractive components for serving in various demanding endoscopic applications [1, 2]. Also, in the last five years there has been a significant progress into the field of magneto-rheological sensing and switching photonic devices [3, 4]. Herein we present preliminary experimental findings related to a device that combines the technology of multicapillary microstructured optical fibers with the functionalities of the ferrofluids, for tuning both their spectral and amplitude modulation functions utilizing external magnetic field stimulus. Such a type of multicore microstructured optical fibers infiltrated with ferrofluids may provide dynamic endoscopic imaging capabilities; also they may constitute elements for multi-mode interference fiber magnetometers.
