Abstract :
The acoustic sensitivity of the phase of light propagating in a coated optical fiber is studied for ultrasonic frequencies where the fiber is axially constrained and isotropic. The analysis, which takes into account the exact composition and geometry of multilayer fibers, is utilized to identify coatings compositions which optimize the fiber acoustic sensitivity.
