A phototransistor provides an output current via a circuit node to a current path. An operational amplifier connected at its noninverting input terminal to ground and at its inverting input terminal to the node provides a feedback signal to the base of the phototransistor in a sense to establish the node at a virtual ground for maintaining the phototransistor output current equal to a fixed current withdrawn by the current path.

Calibration means, including an optiosolator, for a hydrophone preamplifierhich couples to a remote DC supply source and a remote load through a long, two-wire cable. The output signal of the optoisolator is fed to the amplifier in series with the hydrophone output signal, the input to the optoisolator being an AC calibration signal. In an array of preamplifiers, the same calibration signal is fed to all the preamplifiers by connecting the optoisolators in series with each other and the source of the AC calibration signal. |
