Popis: In this paper, a new concept of magnetic nanoparticles as magneto-optical markers is proposed, and a "magneto-optical gate" effect is explored. High-sensitivity detection of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) was developed based on this principle. Under irradiation from monochromatic light with a wavelength much larger than the size of a given MNP, Rayleigh scattering occurs on the MNP surface. The MNPs anisotropic and orientate themselves into chains, meaning that the Rayleigh scattering now decreases under magnetic field excitation. After applying an AC magnetic field of frequency f, the transmitted light passing through the MNPs reagent generates an AC signal with a frequency of 2f. Moreover, the 2f signal disappears after removal of the magnetic field. This creates a "magneto-optical gate" effect. The instantaneous and highly sensitive detection of magneto-optical markers with a concentration of 0.2 {\mu}g/mL and an effective optical path length of 10 {\mu}m is realized based on this "magneto-optical gate" effect.
