Napoli, 17-21 Settembre 2012<br />

A full 3-D numerical analysis of an FBG coated by a ring-shaped material in the frequency range 0.5-30 kHz<br />

The res<strong>on</strong>ant behavior of such underwater acoustic sensor has been reported for the first time<br />

Numerical analysis dem<strong>on</strong>strated that the sensing performances can be tailored for a specific applicati<strong>on</strong> by<br />

a proper selecti<strong>on</strong> of the coating features<br />

Experimental analysis of fabricated optical hydroph<strong>on</strong>es<br />

A good agreement between the experimental characterizati<strong>on</strong>s and the numerically predicted sensitivity gains<br />

has been obtained, c<strong>on</strong>firming the correct modeling of the hydroph<strong>on</strong>e as well as its predicti<strong>on</strong> capability<br />

Excellent capability to detect acoustic waves in the frequency range 4–35 kHz, extremely high sensitivity,<br />

resoluti<strong>on</strong>s of the order of a few Pascal, and good linearity without using active c<strong>on</strong>figurati<strong>on</strong>s.<br />

Sensor array and offshore preliminary testing highlighted the str<strong>on</strong>g potential of FBG hydroph<strong>on</strong>es to be<br />

employed for in-field trials and industrial applicati<strong>on</strong>s
