(35) As shown in
(36)
(37) A Fabry-Perot (FP) interference cavity is formed between a head end face of the coated optical fiber 7 and the sound sensitive diaphragm. When sound waves are incident, sound pressure causes the sound sensitive diaphragm 1 deformation and a cavity length of the FP cavity changes. Incident sound pressure is obtained by demodulating the change of cavity length. The overflow holes 3 are capable of improving an ability of the sensor to resist hydrostatic pressure, and an internal medium of the back cavity 4 may be replaced through the overflow holes 3, so as to realize switching different working states of the optical fiber ocean acoustic sensor and achieve a purpose of amphibious use.
(38)
(39) The sensitivity of an FP optical fiber ocean acoustic sensor is determined by two parts. As shown in a formula (1), a first part of the FP sensor response is mechanical sensitivity, and a second part is optical sensitivity. The mechanical sensitivity part (a first term ME part on the right of the formula 1) is mainly determined by a sound pressure response function of a sensor diaphragm and the mechanical compliance of the diaphragm itself. The sound pressure response function of the sensor diaphragm is explained and calculated in detail in a following equivalent circuit analysis, which is a function related to the sensor structural parameters (including the diaphragm) and acoustic frequency. The latter means that unit pressure exerted on the diaphragm forces the diaphragm to move, thus causing change of the cavity length, that is, the mechanical sensitivity of the diaphragm itself, which is related to the mechanical characteristics of the diaphragm such as size and material. The optical sensitivity part (a second term OP part on the right of the formula 1) is mainly determined by the change of reflected light power caused by the FP cavity length and the change of output voltage of a photoelectric demodulation signal caused by reflected light phase change. Therefore, an overall sensitivity of the sensor may be expressed as:
(40)
(41) where P.sub.in is an incident sound pressure; P.sub.dia is a superposition pressure of incident sound pressure and radiated sound field after diaphragm vibration; L.sub.cav is an FP cavity length; I.sub.r is a reflected light intensity and V.sub.out is an output voltage. In the disclosure, an optical part may be treated as a constant because the optical characteristics of a thin film in the FP and an optical system are constant. That is, in the above expression, only the first term related to the acoustic frequency determines a spectral response characteristic curve of the sensitivity, and remaining terms only linearly scale its overall amplitude. Therefore, in numerical simulation, only the mechanical sensitivity in the sensitivity formula (1) of the sensor is considered when comparing differences of performance results caused by changes of sensor structure size and diaphragm specification parameters.
(42) In order to simplify an analysis model, the incident sound wave may be regarded as a uniform plane wave sound field P.sub.in, and P.sub.in may affect the sound field inside the sensor in two ways (see
(43) Because an optical path of the sensor is only sensitive to the cavity length (the diaphragm centre displacement), in an equivalent circuit analysis of acoustic vibration system, a ratio of pressure drop P.sub.dia on acoustic compliance C.sub.dia of the diaphragm to the incident sound pressure P.sub.in represents a sound pressure transfer response of the sensor diaphragm. In order to calculate this value, an equivalent circuit model is divided into four impedance parts, namely
X.sub.1=R.sub.hole+jM.sub.holeX.sub.1=R.sub.hole+jM.sub.hole
X.sub.2=R.sub.rad+R.sub.chan+j(M.sub.rad+M.sub.dia+M.sub.chan),X.sub.3=(jC.sub.dia).sup.1, and X.sub.4=(jC.sub.cav).sup.1,
where is an angular frequency of an incident sound wave. The ratio of the pressure P.sub.dia on acoustic compliance C.sub.dia of the diaphragm to the incident sound pressure P.sub.in is as shown in a formula (2):
(44)
(45) It should be noted here that under action of uniform external pressure load P, displacement in a normal direction of a diaphragm mode of a square diaphragm with a side length of 2a and low residual stress may be expressed as formula (3):
(46)
(47) In the above formula, D is flexural rigidity: D=Eh.sup.3/12/(1.sup.2), where E and are Young's modulus and a Poisson's ratio of a diaphragm material respectively, and h is a thickness of the square diaphragm. The diaphragm is subjected to a harmonic sound pressure signal with an amplitude of P.sub.0 and a frequency of , that is, P=P.sub.0e.sup.jt. Maximum center displacement of the diaphragm is u.sub.0=Pa.sup.4/47/D. The mechanical sensitivity of the diaphragm is S.sub.dia=a.sup.4/47D. The mechanical sensitivity of the sensor may be obtained by multiplying H.sub.sensor with the mechanical sensitivity S.sub.dia of the diaphragm (formula 1). A sensitivity frequency response curve of the sensor may be calculated, and an influence of main size parameters of a sensor structure on a cut-off frequency, a resonance peak frequency and a usable frequency band may be predicted through an analysis of the response curve, thus providing design reference for required performance optimization.
