Abstract
An optical magnetic field sensor probe for detecting a magnetic field to be measured as an output light intensity, by disposing a polarizer, a magneto-optical device, and an analyzer mutually different in the transmission and polarization direction with respect to said polarizer, along the running direction of light, has an input optical fiber for feeding into to said polarizer through a first lens, and an output optical fiber for emitting an output light from said analyzer through a second lens, wherein said input optical fiber, said first lens, said magneto-optical device, said second lens and said output optical fiber are composed in a confocal optical system, and said first lens and said second lens are drum lenses.
