摘要：

We developed a setup to probe the refractive index of the magnetic fluid films under external magnetic fields. This setup possesses a high resolution of 0.0001 in the measured refractive index. It was found that the refractive index of the magnetic fluid depends linearly on the concentration of the dilute magnetic fluid under zero field. For a given magnetic fluid film, the refractive index increases with the increasing field strength over a critical value, and then becomes saturated as the field reaches. around 200 Oe. It is noteworthy that the magnetically modulated refractive index of the magnetic fluid films could have great potential in electro-optical. applications. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
