F. Bucholtz et al., DEMONSTRATION OF A FIBER OPTIC ARRAY OF 3-AXIS MAGNETOMETERS FOR UNDERSEA APPLICATION, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 31(6), 1995, pp. 3194-3196
We describe an undersea array of eight fiber-optic, three-axis magneti
c sensors, The interferometric sensors employ magnetostrictive metalli
c glass strips as the transducer elements. We discuss the operating pr
inciples and the performance of the system during actual undersea oper
ation.
