Abstract
A magnetometer measuring head is divided into two separate sub-units, including a first sub-unit including means for transmission and detection of polarized light is coupled via a fibre to a second sub-unit comprising a thin layer of magnetic material within which is guided the light wave transmitted by the fibre. The coupling with the fibre is established via the edge, the opposed end of the layer being provided with a mirror so that the guided wave follows an outgoing and returning path before being retransmitted to the detection means which measure the rotation of the polarization of the light caused by Faraday effect.
