The paper presents influence of the HB1500 bow-tie optical fiber coating on the fiber angular sensitivity for dynamic stress induced by an acoustic wave. An experimental setup is explained and fiber parameters are presented, what is a step forward to predict and simulate behavior of optical fibers embedded in composite materials. Both sensitivities of the fiber (with and without coating) are compared versus the angle between the birefringence axis and the acoustic wave propagation direction. An influence of the fiber coating has also been experimentally examined.
