OPTICAL ACOUSTOELECTRIC TRANSDUCER

摘要

An optical acoustoelectric transducer having a directivity pattern like a better 8 by receiving by a light-receiving element a reflected fraction of the light from a light-emitting device disposed at the center of a bottom plate that is parallel to a diaphragm, has an opening through which an acoustic wave enters, and is connected to supporting side plates. An optical acoustoelectric transducer having uniform amplitude characteristics in a wide frequency range by mixing by a mixer circuit the outputs of a plurality of optical microphones having diaphragms of mutually different thicknesses so as to make the receiving sensitivity uniform in different frequency ranges. A directional optical acoustoelectric transducer having a small size and wide band characteristics by arranging a plurality of light-emitting devices (LD) and a plurality of light-receiving elements (PD) corresponding to a plurality of diaphragms arranged parallel. <IMAGE>
