If sound can be seen optically, can it be generated optically? Say, to
go with a hologram?
I was of the opinion that laser-based interferometry
microphoning off
window panes had already been standard fare of secret services for
decades. I don't think you really want to use the kind of lasers that
successfully push surfaces around.
Plasma
speakers<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_speaker> are
enough of a high-energy ickiness.
Yah, I thought that a laser able to generate sound would be a bit too
strong to use around people.
Plasma speakers. Fascinating. Is there a connection between the volume
of the plasma and the frequency range it can produce? Such as, needing a
bigger box of plasma to produce bass frequencies?
I think my favorite sound-producer is still a pipe organ in a cathedral. :)
