Opto-Acoustic Telephone Study.

Abstract

This report documents the results of an optical telephone feasibility study and resultant demonstration and includes the detailed design and fabrication of a remote optical telephone experimental subset with Talk, Hear and Ring functions. All conversions within the subset go directly between optical and acoustical energy; there are no electrical circuits to effect the process. the optical telephone has potential in military communication links where security and resistance to radiation of all forms is desired. Keywords: Fiber Optics; Fiber Optic Sensors; Optical Telephone, and Photoacoustics.
