For the axial stretching fiber laser hydrophone, a fiber laser is often exposed to flexural interference. A theoretical model for the flexural vibration of a fiber laser was therefore constructed in this paper to explore the low frequency anti-interference mechanism for the frequency response of an axially tensioned fiber laser hydrophone (FLH). A specific packaging structure was used for finite element comparison and simulation. Packaged FLHs were tested for frequency response. The simulation and test results reveal that the flexible attachment at both ends of a fiber laser leads to lower amplitude of flexural vibration compared with rigid attachment, which therefore promotes a flat acoustic response curve of an FLH. The analysis given in this paper can be taken as a basis for improving the packaging technique.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
