The fiber optic hydrophone was developed to satisfy the urgent demands of underwater acoustics applications, especially for anti\|submarine purposes. This new underwater acoustic sensor based on optical fiber and optoelectronics technology is now well developed and widely used in military and civil applications. The optical fiber hydrophone system including the wet end signal sensing and transfer is all fiber based, and thus has the merits of light weight, low cost and immunity to electromagnetic interference. The history and development of the fiber optic hydrophone are reviewed, with a detailed discussion of the principle and applications.
