## Abstract An optical microphone incorporating a reflective diaphragm and a fiberโoptic head is demonstrated. The diaphragm is made of a micromirror membrane which is suspended by a silicon bar connected to a frame, allowing for displacement induced by acoustic waves. A compact and simple optical

โฆ Synopsis
A new type of microphone is described. The measurements on a microphone prototype with a membrane diameter of 7 mm show the following results: flat frequency response from zero Hz (if required) to 20 kHz, sensitivity 60 mV/N/m 2, output can be loaded with a resistance as low as 600 s distortion satisfies requirements for a high quality microphone, the sound pressure level range is from 44 dB(C) to 131 dB(C). The measuring principle makes sensitivity rather independent of microphone size.
