Hydrophone Transduction Mechanism.
Abstract
A sensing portion for an interferometric planar hydrophone is disclosed which comprises: a support assembly; a plurality of hollow compliant mandrels mounted to the support assembly in a fixed planar relationship with respect to each other to form a planar configuration; a sensing optical fiber sequentially wound around each of the plurality of mandrels to form a single, serial, optical sensing arm or path between an input position on a first one of the plurality of mandrels and an output position on a last one of the plurality of mandrels; and an acoustically transparent material encapsulating the sensing portion to form a sealed compliant planar hydrophone.
