| Summary: | M.Ing. === A study was done on optical fibre hydrophones. Integrated optic hydrophone components as well as optical fibre components were investigated. An optical fibre coupler was successfully manufactured with an etch process. The coupling ratio can be varied mechanically or by means of refraction index variation. Experimental procedures and results will be shown. Bending losses excited in an optical fibre coil were investigated as a function of different coil diameters. The results were extrapolated to determine the amount of losses arising in a hydrophone coil. |
