A fiber Bragg grating microphone has been developed and tested in the audible frequency range. The fiber Bragg grating is longitudinally attached to a membrane that vibrates in response to acoustic vibrations and is prestrained. The frequency and amplitude of the sound are encoded in the wavelength shift. The microphone can also pick up voices dynamically from a distance of a few meters. The simplicity of principle and structure of this fiber grating sensor provides scope for commercialization as an optical microphone.
