“…Following a similar procedure, Lagakos and co-authors demonstrated analytically that, by properly choosing the glass and coating materials, and the corresponding thicknesses, it is possible to have optical fibers with reduced pressure sensitivity [28], or even insensitive to the pressure field [29,30]. They also analyzed the pressure sensitivity 145 of an optical fiber with an inner coating of silicone as a function of the external outer coating and for different frequencies [31,32,17]. At low frequency (< 1 kHz), they confirmed that both the axial and radial strains contribute to the fiber's sensitivity, with the most substantial contri-150 bution coming from the axial strain.…”
