Using a single optical microfiber (OM) sensor for multi-parameter sensing can lead to significant demodulation error due to ill-conditioned matrices and nonlinear response characteristics. To address these issues, this paper proposes a novel specially packaged optical microfiber coupler combined with a silver mirror (OMCM). OMCM is combined with a mechanically enhanced sensitivity fiber Bragg grating (FBG) to form a temperature-pressure sensor.

Lidar, with its capability for continuous day-and-night observations and strong water penetration, holds great potential for detecting optical parameters in water. However, ocean lidar faces challenges in addressing ill-posed equations and mitigating the effects of multiple scattering when detecting IOPs.

Based on the air-backed push-pull fiber optic hydrophone structure, the inner elastic tube is replaced by a thick hollow column, introducing axial acoustic pressure sensing to improve the detection sensitivity of the fiber optic hydrophone. The influence of axial stress on the deformation of the composite structure is investigated by theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, and the structural design of fiber optic hydrophone with high acoustic pressure sensitivity and wide frequency response range is realized.

Swimmers propel their bodies forward by generating vortices around themselves, which produce fluid force during underwater undulatory swimming (UUS). This study aimed to investigate the propulsive and braking contributions of the vortices of the lower limbs, trunk, and upper limbs during UUS. The kinematic data and three-dimensional digital model were collected from nine male swimmers.

Underwater acoustic transducers need to expand the coverage of acoustic signals as much as possible in most ocean explorations, and the directivity indicators of transducers are difficult to change after the device is packaged, which makes the emergence angle of the underwater acoustic transducer limited in special operating environments, such as polar regions, submarine volcanoes, and cold springs. Taking advantage of the refractive characteristics of sound waves propagating in different media, the directivity indicators can be controlled by installing an acoustic lens outside the underwater acoustic transducer. To increase the detection range of an underwater acoustic transducer in a specific marine environment, a curvature-determining method for the diverging acoustic lens of an underwater acoustic transducer is proposed based on the acoustic ray tracing theory.
