A Fabry Perot Fibre-optic hydrophone for the characterisation of ultrasound fields

This thesis documents the development of a novel fibre optic hydrophone, for the characterisation of medical ultrasound transducers and the measurement of ultrasound induced temperature rises. The transduction mechanism of the hydrophone is based on the detection of acoustically and thermally induce...
