摘要
An ultrasonic hydrophone is presented that comprises a fiber tip coated with a dielectric multilayer system. Two different layer designs are investigated with respect to their suitability for sensing and their reflectance slope which determines the sensitivity. The more advantageous Fabry-Perot stack was experimentally implemented, and first successful measurements are described. Low-intensity signals are detected with a high signal-to-noise ratio. The sensor can be used for acoustic pressure measurement with high temporal and spatial resolution in a wide power range. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
