Abstract
As an example of modern sensor technology based on mono- mode glass fibers, the design of a hydrophone is described. In or-der to obtain practically useful operating characteristics, some development effort was necessary as regards sensitivity of the sensor head, the problem of maintaining the state of polarisation, the development of rugged fiber optic couplers and some means of frequency control to maintain the optimum sensitivity in the presence of drifts.
A hydrophone is a microphone for underwater use
