Diffraction of laser light by a Ferrocell and ferrofluid layers: A comparison

In a previous study, we conducted a comparative analysis of laser light extinction using both a Ferrocell and ferrofluid layers. Specifically, we examined the diffraction of laser light by these devices. The Ferrocell was positioned between an electromagnet and a He-Ne-laser beam, and diffraction patterns were recorded with and without the application of a magnetic field. Subsequently, the experiment was replicated using a glass cuvette filled with a ferrofluid. We investigated the power spectra of these diffraction patterns and analyzed temperature variations. Our findings reveal significant distinctions between the diffraction patterns produced by the ferrofluid and the Ferrocell. Further investigations into these differences are currently underway.
