The patent application (Publication Number: US20240003994A1) describes a magnetic field sensor head that includes an optical fiber, a GI fiber, a magnetic film, a reflection film, and a support member. The GI fiber is optically connected to the optical fiber, with the magnetic film and reflection film joined to the GI fiber. The support member is attached to the reflection film. The sensor head is designed with specific dimensions and materials to effectively detect magnetic fields.

Furthermore, the patent application details a manufacturing method for the magnetic field sensor head. The method involves melt bonding the optical fiber to the GI fiber and adhering a square-shaped bottom surface of a square columnar rod-shaped member to the other end of the GI fiber. The process includes forming a reflection layer and a magnetic layer on a base member, creating the rod-shaped member with the magnetic layer in a square shape, and cutting the rod-shaped member from the base member. The manufacturing method ensures the precise construction of the sensor head for accurate magnetic field detection.
