摘要： A hydrophone includes a plurality of hydrophone components separated by finite spacings and interconnected to provide a single output signal. Each hydrophone component is based upon a single-mandrel design in which a cylindrical body is apportioned into sensing and reference sections. The sensing sections comprise coaxial arrangements of pliant inner and outer cylinders separated by an annular airspace while the adjacent reference sections comprise solid-walled cylinders. Finite separation distances between the hydrophone components result in reduced flow noise occasioned by increased sensing area while detection sensitivity is maintained.

摘要： The inner surface affixation system and process is a method for affixing wound optical fibers on the inner surface of a hollow cylinder. It is useful, for example, in the manufacture of rigid mandrel-based fiber optic sensors. The optical fibers of a sensor wound on the inner surface are less susceptible to damage than are optical fibers wound on the outside of the mandrel.The process requires that the fibers be supported on a cylinder, which is coated with an adhesive and placed within the sensor mandrel cylinder, at which time the circumference of the supporting cylinder is expanded, causing the fibers to engage the inner surface of the sensor mandrel cylinder. The adhesive is then cured, holding the fibers in place on the inner surface of the sensor mandrel cylinder while the supporting cylinder is contracted and removed from the sensor mandrel cylinder.

摘要： A housing for a fiber optic splice protects the splice from the external to environment. Two optical fibers may be butt-coupled in a connector, which is then coated with a hard resin material. The hard resin material is then overcoated with a resilient material to provide shock protection and strain relief. The connector may be placed in a housing, which is covered and sealed to form a water-tight seal between the cover and the housing.

摘要： A protected fiber optical splice and a method for making the protected splice. The protective structure encapsulates first and second spliced optical fibers. The fibers are preferably fusion spliced. The protective structure includes a rigid tube surrounding the splice and its adjacent regions of the spliced fibers. A plastic such as an epoxy or moldable plastic is injected into the tube between the substantially axially centered fibers and splice, and the interior wall of the tube. Two molding fixtures are preferably surrounding the two ends of the tube, for injecting the moldable plastic into the tube and for shaping the portions of the structure external to the the tube ends.

摘要： A system and method are provided for converting an electrical signal to an optical signal for a fiber optic system. The electrical signal produced by a sensor (10) based upon a parameter being measured is connected across a material (12, 34, 40) that changes dimension responsive to an applied electrical signal. An optical fiber (14, 30, 38) is coupled to the material (12, 34, 40) where dimension changes of the material (12, 34, 40) produce strain in the optical fiber (14, 30, 38). This strain is operable to affect light traveling through the optical fiber (14, 30, 38) to produce an optical signal for a fiber optic system. In one embodiment, the sensor (10) can be a geophone sensor that produces an electrical signal proportional to motion of the geophone sensor. In another embodiment, the sensor (10) can be a hydrophone sensor that produces an electrical signal proportional to acoustic pressure incident on the hydrophone sensor. Also, the material (12, 34, 40) that changes dimension responsive to an applied electrical signal can be, for example, a piezoelectric ceramic cylinder or a PVDF film or other piezo-polymer material.
