Abstract
A linearly configured fiber-optic acoustic sensor has been developed b y embedding a single-mode fiber in a polyurethane cylindrical layer. T he acoustic sensitivity was studied in the range of 0.75-10 KHz and wa s found to be frequency independent and significantly higher than that of a free suspended fiber or a solid mandrel fiber sensor. A comparis on is made between this sensor and air backed fiber-optic mandrel sens ors.
