Description

Optical drive sound producing device
[technical field]:
The present invention relates to a kind of sound-producing device, particularly a kind of sound-producing device that is driven by light signal belongs to optics and vocal skill field.
[background technology]:
Existing sound-producing device and device like loudspeaker (claiming loudspeaker again) and earphone, are a kind of microphone devices that converts electrical energy into acoustic energy.Though existing loudspeaker kind is a lot; Working method also is not quite similar; But all be to produce mechanical vibration on the sounding principle, promote ambient air, thereby make air dielectric produce the conversion that fluctuation realizes that electric energy arrives acoustic energy again to mechanical energy through certain vibrating mass.Loudspeaker can be divided into D.sp., electrostatic loudspeaker, and several kinds of flat panel speakers etc.Wherein, using at present is D.sp. the most widely.Common D.sp. generally is made up of basin frame, magnet, voice coil loudspeaker voice coil, vibration awl basin etc.When tone currents process voice coil loudspeaker voice coil, voice coil loudspeaker voice coil produces vibration under the effect in magnetic field.The awl basin that is fixed together with voice coil loudspeaker voice coil promotes the ambient air motion when vibrating, loudspeaker ambient air density is changed, and produce sound.The technical parameter of describing speaker performance has multiple, topmost comprising: effective frequency range, characteristic ssensitivity. specified maximum sinusoidal power, specified harmonic distortion etc.Along with the continuous development of loudspeaker manufacturing materials and technology and technology, the speaker product of various functions and different purposes all is developed.However, existing loudspeaker has determined them all to have following intrinsic problem by its sounding principle:
1. existing loudspeaker all is by current drives, and voice coil loudspeaker voice coil receives the interference of external environment easily and influences.For example, in the environment that strong-electromagnetic field exists, loudspeaker can receive the interference of electromagnetic field and noise occur, under the serious situation even can't use.
2. to existing loudspeaker, if realize good sounding effect, need its structure of appropriate design and choose various materials meticulously, also to consider its electric property, and and note amplifier between coupling.
3. the nonlinear characteristic of links such as electromagnetism, mechanical motion causes loudspeaker to produce higher hamonic wave in the existing loudspeaker, causes harmonic distortion easily, thereby influences the fidelity of sounding.
[summary of the invention]:
The present invention seeks to overcome the above-mentioned deficiency that prior art exists, a kind of novel sound-producing device is provided, particularly a kind of sound-producing device that drives by light signal.
This sound-producing device is different fully on type of drive and sound generating mechanism with the prior electric sound-producing device; It is with the momentum of light and energy drives sounding film, perhaps produces mechanical vibration, perhaps produces temperature variation; Or above-mentioned two kinds of actings in conjunction; Promote ambient air, make air dielectric produce fluctuation, realize by the conversion of luminous energy to acoustic energy.Compare with the prior electric sound-producing device, sound-producing device involved in the present invention need not to use magnet and voice coil loudspeaker voice coil, so magnetic field has no response to external world, can be in the environment that strong-electromagnetic field exists operate as normal; This sound-producing device need not to use metal or other conductor material, and the sounding energy needed can be transmitted by the space, or uses Optical Fiber Transmission.
The principle of work of optical drive sound producing device involved in the present invention: frequency is that the energy that the photon of v has is hv (h is a Planck's constant).When light incides on the non-reflective and nontransparent object, the energy of light will be absorbed, and causes its temperature to rise.And this object is as a thermal source, and heat can transmit to its surrounding medium.Medium is under the situation of still air around, heat will be mainly with heat conducting mode by this object to transfer of air.If the thermal capacity of this object is very little, then can the optical radiation energy that absorbed be passed to surrounding medium with very high efficient, i.e. the effect of this object is to realize by luminous energy to heat energy conversion.If the light intensity of incident light is time dependent, the temperature of this object also just changes in time, and heat conducting result makes that the density of still air produces over time around it, promptly produces sound field and in air, propagates.
Because heat and incident intensity that the radiation of object absorbing light is produced are linear; The variable density of the air that is caused by heat conduction is also linear with incident intensity; So; The voiced process that is produced by the optical drive mode is a linear process, can not cause harmonic distortion on the principle, has high sounding fidelity.On the other hand, this voiced process be by luminous energy to heat energy again to the transfer process of acoustic energy, in this transfer process, do not relate to electric signal, also need not to use conductive material.The conduction of light signal can use optical fiber to accomplish, so extraneous electromagnetic field can not produce any interference to the transmission of signal.
Consider the effect of photon momentum below.Frequency is that the momentum that the photon of v has is hv/C (C is the light velocity), and generally speaking, the momentum of photon is extremely small, and its effect can be ignored.The light pulse that when an energy is E is incided on the object with an angle of 90 degrees, and establishing its surface reflectivity is R, and all the other are all absorbed by object, and then object is (1+R) E/C by the momentum that incident light pulse obtains.If the width of incident light pulse is Δ t, then incident light pulse is (1+R) E/ (C Δ t) to the acting force of object.So for the high ultrashort laser pulse of peak power, its acting force to object will be to become obvious.If this object is a thickness as thin as a wafer during the film of (nm magnitude), the effect of laser pulse will cause the vibration of film, thereby cause that air dielectric produces fluctuation, produces sound.
