Abstract :
This paper presents experimental results comparing the susceptibility of two different optical fiber current sensors to environmental acoustic vibrations. Of the two sensors that are tested, one employs a uni-directional current detection scheme, and the other a bi-directional in-line Sagnac interferometer. Acoustic vibrations are applied to various optical components of the two different types of current sensors
