HFO-690 Fiber Optic Hydrophone

The HFO-690 is the latest generation optical fiber hydrophone designed to uniquely support high intensity fields for applications such as HIFU, providing both acoustic pressure and temperature measurements simultaneously.

Key Features and Benefits
  • Support high acoustic pressures up to 500 MPa
  • Bandwidth limiting filters to reduce Noise Equivalent Pressure
  • Easy to use touch screen user interface
  • Simultaneous temperature measurement
  • Simple self-calibration routine
  • Visible light source to simplify alignment
  • Simple cleaving procedure to repair probes within minutes
  • Optically filtered to reject stray environmental light
The HFO-690 is the latest generation optical fiber hydrophone designed to uniquely support high intensity fields for applications such as HIFU, providing both acoustic pressure and temperature measurements simultaneously. Whereas traditional piezo-electric hydrophones were susceptible to damage, the HFO can withstand acoustic pressures up to 500 MPa. Furthermore, the HFO system was designed to be easy to use. Operation with a visible wavelength makes the alignment process simpler and safer to use.
