Everything about Laser Microphone totally explained

A laser microphone is a surveillance device that uses a laser beam to detect sound vibrations in a distant object. The object is typically inside a room where a conversation is taking place, and can be anything that can vibrate (for example, a picture on a wall) in response to the pressure waves created by noises present in the room. The object preferably has a smooth surface. The laser beam is directed into the room through a window, reflects off the object and returns to a receiver that converts the beam to an audio signal. The beam may also be bounced off the window itself. The minute differences in the distance travelled by the light as it reflects from the vibrating object are detected interferometrically. The interferometer converts the variations to intensity variations, and electronics are used to convert these variations to signals that can be converted back to sound. This technology can be used to eavesdrop with minimal chance of exposure. However, coutermeasures exist in the form of specialized light sensors that can detect the light from the beam. Rippled glass can be used as a defence, as it provides a poor surface for a laser microphone.
