Infrared transmission characteristics of magnetic fluids were measured in the 4–10 μm wavelength range by using suspensions of kerosene and magnetite nanoparticles. The optical density of the magnetic fluid increased gradually toward short wavelengths, which indicated that scattering was a principal origin of the optical loss. When a magnetic field of 900 G was applied in the direction perpendicular to the optical path, the optical density increased or decreased depending on whether the polarization direction of the probe beam was parallel or perpendicular to the magnetic field. By contrast, an axial magnetic field reduced the optical density for both polarizations.
