Low-noise driver and low-noise receiver for self-mix module
Abstract:
Optical microphone, laser-based microphone, and laser microphone having reduced-noise components of low-noise components. A laser microphone comprises a laser-diode associated with a low-noise laser driver TX; and a photo-diode associated with a low-noise photo-diode receiver RX. The low-noise laser driver TX supplies a drive current which is a combination of a Direct Current component having a first bandwidth, and an attenuated version of an Alternating Current component having a second, different, bandwidth. Additionally or alternatively, the low-noise photo-diode receiver RX utilizes hardware-based demodulation of the analog signal, and operates to remove a Direct Current component of its output signal prior to digitization.
