analog optical

2009-06-05 by David Griffith

The only modern example of using analog optical signals I'm aware of is 
the singing tesla coil.  That's done solely to keep the high voltages of 
the coil away from the audio equipment.  Has anyone here tried anything 
more than that?  For example, bounce a laser off a shiny guitar string, 
collect the reflected light, amplify it, and send it down a fiber for 
processing and eventually to a speaker.
