Abstract
The advantages of fiber optic sensors in hydrophone applications are well known. They offer excellent sensitivity, resistance to electromagnetic interference, and all active electronics are kept out of the water. One aspect where they are not clearly superior to conventional piezoelectric transducers is their size. For some applications size is critical and existing designs are too large.
