Definition

Fiber optic hydrophone is a sensor used for underwater sound measurement. Its working principle is to obtain underwater sound-related characteristics by measuring the changes in the photosensitive properties of the optical signal transmitted in the optical fiber.

Scientific Fundamentals

For the past few decades, immense research has been carried out to monitor ocean parameters adopting trending techniques. Among them, one of the notable approaches falls in the domain of optical fiber technology. The optical fiber sensing technique has an exclusive feature of...
