Abstract :
A 32-element fiber optic hydrophone system has been developed, constructed and tested in the EUCLID project ´All fiber optic hydrophone line array´. Measurements during the final sea trials showed that performance meets or exceeds the specifications. An overview of the system concepts as well as the main components and some test results are presented. An engineering model has previously been presented.
