Abstract :
Developments in underwater sound detection by laser sensors probing the air-water surface are presented and discussed. Experimental results are presented that demonstrate laser sensor performance on detecting underwater sound subject to various water surface conditions. The results are used for evaluating current laser sensor capabilities and lay the foundation for future hardware design
