LIGHT-BASED SOUND GENERATION AND SOUND HARVESTING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18112767 titled 'LIGHT-BASED SOUND GENERATION AND SOUND HARVESTING SYSTEM

The patent application describes a system that uses light to generate sound waves and harvest sound.

Light source emits modulated light signal at a specific frequency.
Absorber layer receives the modulated light signal and outputs a sound wave with a similar frequency.
The sound wave is generated when the absorber layer interacts with the modulated light signal.

Potential Applications:

Audio devices that use light to produce sound.
Communication systems that transmit sound through light signals.
Sound harvesting systems for energy generation.

Problems Solved:

Efficient sound generation without traditional speakers.
Integration of light and sound technologies.
Harvesting sound energy for various applications.

Benefits:

Reduced reliance on traditional speakers.
Enhanced sound quality and clarity.
Energy-efficient sound generation and harvesting.

Commercial Applications:

Light-based audio systems for home entertainment.
Communication devices for noise-sensitive environments.
Sound harvesting technology for renewable energy solutions.

Questions about Light-Based Sound Generation and Harvesting: 1. How does the absorber layer convert modulated light signals into sound waves? 2. What are the potential limitations of using light for sound generation and harvesting?

Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research focuses on improving the efficiency and scalability of light-based sound generation and harvesting systems. Researchers are exploring new materials and techniques to enhance the performance of these systems.

Original Abstract Submitted

A light-based sound generation and sound harvesting system may include a light source configured to output a modulated light signal at a frequency and an absorber layer positioned to receive the modulated light signal. The absorber layer is substantially non-transparent and configured to output a sound wave having a substantially similar frequency to the frequency of the modulated light signal when receiving the modulated light signal.
