Photophonic technology

Photophonic technology involves converting light signals into sound or vice versa. It leverages the interaction between photons (light particles) and phonons (sound vibrations) within a material. For example, a device may detect changes in light intensity to produce corresponding sound waves or use sound waves to influence light signals. This technology is useful in areas like optical communication, sensing, and imaging, enabling precise control and interpretation of signals by translating between light and sound. It offers a way to harness the properties of both to improve data transfer, detection, and analysis systems.
