A hollow elastomer cylinder is introduced into the system, and the optical fiber is tightly wound around the cylinder to construct the pick-up. The theoretical analysis was finished, and it showed that the improved pick-up will bring in an extra phase change and let the phase difference increase almost an order. The extra phase change will enhance the sensing sensitivity correspondingly. The titanium alloy elastic cylinder was designed and manufactured. The experiment system was built, and a sinusoidal acoustic signal was used as the sound source. The tests were taken during 100\u20131500 Hz, and the experimental study showed that the sensitivity was more than 130 mV\/Pa when the pick-up was used as the acoustic sensing element, and compared to the fiber only system, the sensitivity was enhanced more than 71.2%. The improved pick-up will be helpful in sound recognition and expand the application area of the Sagnac acoustic sensing system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22218193","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,26]],"date-time":"2022-10-26T07:17:48Z","timestamp":1666768668000},"page":"8193","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["An Improved Acoustic Pick-Up for Straight Line-Type Sagnac Fiber Optic Acoustic Sensing System"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8027-4148","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jianjun","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Key Laboratory of Electromagnetic Technology and Engineering, Nanchong of Sichuan, China West Normal University, Nanchong 637000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Institute of Xi\u2019an Aerospace Solid Propulsion Technology, Xi\u2019an 710025, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ning","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Key Laboratory of Optoelectronic Technology & System, Education Ministry of China, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juan","family":"Ruan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Key Laboratory of Electromagnetic Technology and Engineering, Nanchong of Sichuan, China West Normal University, Nanchong 637000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Key Laboratory of Optoelectronic Technology & System, Education Ministry of China, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Key Laboratory of Optoelectronic Technology & System, Education Ministry of China, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1184","DOI":"10.1109\/JSEN.2008.926894","article-title":"Acousto-Ultrasonic Optical Fiber Sensors: Overview and State-of-the-Art","volume":"8","author":"Wild","year":"2008","journal-title":"IEEE Sens.
