title: Measurement of sensitivity of optical fibers for acoustic detection.
abstract: Acoustically induced optical phase modulation has been measured in single-mode fibers over the acoustic frequency range of 100-1400 Hz. These results are compared to the predictions of a simple strain-optical model. An order of magnitude increase in sensitivity was found for plastic coated fibers.
