Application of fiber-optic sensors to the detection of air-acoustic signals

Opt Lett. 1982 Oct 1;7(10):503-5. doi: 10.1364/ol.7.000503.

Abstract

The application of interferometric fiber-optic sensors to the detection of air-acoustic signals is discussed. Differences between air-acoustic and hydroacoustic transduction mechanisms are expected to provide enhanced sensitivity in the former case, and low-frequency measurements confirm this enhancement for the case of an unjacketed fiber loop.
