21 November 2007A fiber-optic hydrophone with a cylindrical Helmholtz resonator
A passive homodyne Michelson interferometric fiber-optic hydrophone with a single-hole cylindrical Helmholtz
resonator has been manufactured. To validate the theoretical results that the fluid coefficient of viscosity has great
influence on the maximum sensitivity at the resonant frequency, the acoustic sensitivity frequency response of the
fiber-optic hydrophone has been measured in a standing-wave tank filled with castor oil. The viscosity coefficient of
castor oil will change with the variation of the temperature. Experimental Results show that the fiber-optic hydrophone
frequency responses of different temperature have identical form except that the maximum sensitivities are different. The
acoustic sensitivities of low frequency are about -159dB re 1rad/μPa. While the maximum sensitivities near the
measured resonant frequency of 800Hz go down with the fall of the temperature, i.e. with the increase of the viscosity
coefficient, which is agree with the theoretical conclusions. This fiber-optic hydrophone is a prototype device for a class
of sensors that used to eliminate aliasing in the future sonar systems.
