Abstract: Apparatus and methods for reducing ghosts from hydrophone signals in a streamer towed underwater close to the sea surface. A multi-axis micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) accelerometer (66A-66C) with attitude sensing is used to reduce the frequency spectral notch in the response of the combined hydrophone-accelerometer system ami to reduce the sensitivity to ghost-producing downward traveling acoustic waves that are sea-surface reflections of the primary upward traveling acoustic waves. Multi-axis spring load cells (62A-62C) provide high compliance and mechanical isolation between stress members (22) and the accelerometer system (66A-66C). The load cells (62A-62C) also provide signals representing the vibration of the stress members (22). The signals can be used with an adaptive filter estimating the mechanical transfer function between the vibration and the motion of the accelerometer system to remove the vibration-induced noise from the accelerometer signals.

Abstract: An array of fiber optic hydrophones (30) is formed by winding of optical fiber around a continuous, yet flexible cylindrical core (31). The cylindrical core contains an elastomer filled with a specified percentage of voided plastic microspheres. The elastomer provides the necessary radial support of the optical fiber and with the included voided microspheres, provides sufficient radial compliance under acoustic pressure. The cylindrical core can be made in very long sections allowing a plurality of hydrophones to be wound onto it using a single optical fiber, with individual hydrophone elements separated by internal reflectors such as Fiber Bragg Gratings (32). The center of the core may include a strength member and a central hollow tube for the passing of additional optical fibers. The aforementioned hydrophone array is then packaged within a protective outer coating or coatings as required for the specified application.
