Acoustic desensitization of single-mode fibers utilizing nickel coatings

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The pressure sensitivity of the phase of light propagating in a single-mode fiber coated with a thin nickel jacket is determined both analytically and experimentally. The measured acoustic response of the fiber is found to be 1 order of magnitude lower than that of the bare fiber, in agreement with analytical predictions. The technique thus appears to be a promising way for desensitizing optical-fiber leads for use with fiber-optic sensors.
