  • Abstract
    This paper reports a demonstration trial for the seafloor exploration using a 4-element towed fiber optic hydrophone array system with 3×3 demodulation approach. The stability of the receiving signals of the array is discussed. A rough stratigraphic map is obtained. And the experimental result offers a good foundation for further investigation
