Abstract
Recently, fiber optic hydrophone is a subject which has attracted as a underwater acoustic sensor. In this study, Finite element modeling of fiber optic hydrophone for hollow cylindrical mandrel was performed and the acoustic sensitivity was calculated to estimate the performance of single element fiber optic hydrophone. And acoustic sensitivity was measured in acoustic water tank to verify the result of simulation. The result of FE analysis and experiment is -126 dB re rad/$\mu$ Pa and -128 dB re rad/$\mu$ Pa respectively.
