Abstract
Acoustically induced phase modulation in single-mode optical fibers has been of growing interest since potential use of fibers as acoustic sensors has been established. The acoustic sensitivity of multilayer fibers is studied in detail as a function of the elastic coefficients of the fiber coatings. The analytic results are utilized to identify coating properties which optimize the fiber acoustic sensitivity.
