A Simple Laser Microphone for Classroom Demonstration
Moses, James M.; Trout, K. P.
Physics Teacher, v44 n9 p600-603 Dec 2006
Communication through the modulation of electromagnetic radiation has become a foundational technique in modern technology. In this paper we discuss a modern day method of eavesdropping based upon the modulation of laser light reflected from a window pane. A simple and affordable classroom demonstration of a "laser microphone" is described.
