We have designed, fabricated, and operated an undersea array of eight fiber-optic vector magnetometers. Each magnetometer consists of three magnetostrictive transducers aligned on orthogonal axes and incorporated in a single Michelson interferometer. During undersea operation, each interferometer exhibited less than 1 μrad/√ Hz phase noise, and the self-noise of each magnetic transducer was less than 0.2 nT/√ Hz at 0.1 Hz. We discuss the design and performance of the optical system including noise mechanisms. We present the results of magnetic measurements of the geomagnetic field and the magnetic tracking of ships
