- the knife edge 220 is inserted at a position that blocks a part of this light beam.
- the knife edge 220 has been inserted up to the center position of the reflected beam B2 as shown in the side view of FIG. In this case, since the lower half of the reflected beam B2 is shielded, only the upper half of the photocell 2 18 is irradiated.
- the reflected beam B 2 is based on the vibration of the target 4 10 A position change has occurred. Therefore, the position fluctuation of the reflected beam B2 includes a vibration component based on the sound in the room of the building 400. As a result, the electric signal output from the photocell 2 18 includes a sound component in the room to be monitored. Therefore, if the audio circuit 219 performs a process of extracting only the audio band component, a target audio can be extracted as a signal. This audio signal is output via the output terminals Tl and ⁇ 2, and can be monitored by earphones or recorded by an external recording device.
- the method using the knife edge 220 described above can detect only one-dimensional (in the vertical direction in FIGS. 7 to 9) fluctuation component of the reflected beam ⁇ 2.
- the vibration generated on the window glass etc. by the conversation does not have a special directivity and is considered to include both the horizontal and vertical components, so it is sufficient to detect only one-dimensional vibration components. is there.
- the laser transmitter 100 has a function of scanning the laser beam # 1. There is no other reason for providing such a beam scanning function in order to facilitate the work of detecting the reflected beam # 2.

- the target 410 is a perfect plane, and the laser beam is emitted from the point ⁇ to the point Q1 on the target 410, and the laser beam is emitted to the point Q2.
- the directions of the reflected beams obtained in each case are as shown in the figure based on the optical principle that the incident angle on the target 410 and the reflection angle are equal.
- the laser beam applied to the point Q 1 reaches the position of the point Q 1 *, and the laser beam applied to the point Q 2 changes to the point Q 2 * (Points P, Q1 *, and Q2 * are all points on the observation plane 420 parallel to the target 410).
- the distance between points Ql and Q2 is B
- the distance between points Ql * and Q2 * is 2B. That is, when the laser spot Q is moved on the target 410 by the distance L, the laser spot Q * on the observation surface 420 is moved by the double distance L.
- the moving range of the laser spot Q * on the observation surface 420 becomes four times the moving range of the laser spot Q on the target 410.

- the probability that the reflected beam B2 will hit the light receiving plate 310 can be greatly improved when the operation of detecting the reflected beam B2 by the beam detector 300 is performed. That is, if the light receiving plate 310 exists at any position in the space between the rectangular area on the target 410 and the rectangular area on the observation surface 420, at one point of the beam scanning, The detection of the reflected beam B 2 is performed. Considering that the work of detecting the reflected beam B2 is a work of detecting light that cannot be seen with the naked eye, such a device is of great practical significance. ⁇ 7. Voice monitor operation using this system
- the laser transmitter 100 is installed.
- the laser transmitter 100 may be installed at any position as long as the laser beam B 1 can be irradiated to the target 410.
- the upper part has less key strength, and it is preferable to install it in a stable place.
- step S2 irradiation of the laser beam B1 is performed.
- the operation mode of the semiconductor laser 116 may be either the continuous mode or the modulation mode, but in consideration of performing the detection operation later, the irradiation of the laser beam in the modulation mode is performed here.
- a window glass facing the outside may be used.
- any object may be used as long as vibration based on the sound in the room is generated and the laser beam B1 has a property of specular reflection.
- a mirror, an ashtray, a figurine, a forehead, etc. in a room may be used as the target 410.
- the state is displayed on the target display section 13 provided on the back of the main housing section 11 as described above.
- the optical axis of the scope section 120 is pre-adjusted to match the optical axis of the semiconductor laser 116, so if the laser beam B1 is irradiated, the target can be adjusted without any special adjustment.
- the image IQ of the laser spot Q is displayed on the display unit 1 13.
- the actual laser spot Q formed on the target 410 cannot be recognized by the naked eye, but can be confirmed as the image IQ on the target display section 113. Therefore, in step S3, Then, the irradiation position of the laser beam B1 is adjusted.
- the installation state adjusting means provided on the stand section 130 is adjusted, and the main state is adjusted. Work to adjust the position, angle, and orientation of the entire housing 110.
- the laser receiver 200 is subsequently installed, but the degree of freedom of the installation position of the laser receiver 200 is significantly limited. That is, the position is limited to a position where the reflected beam B2 from the target 410 can be correctly received.
- the task of finding the installation position of the laser receiver 200 is a task that requires considerable effort. In particular, when recording conversations in a room secretly, it is necessary to install a laser transmitter 100 and a laser receiver 200 at a considerable distance so as not to be noticed by parties in the room. Thus, catching invisible light from a distance is a task that is more difficult than expected. In the audio monitoring system according to the present invention, this work is reduced by scanning the laser beam B1 and preparing a dedicated device called a beam detector 300.
- step S4 beam scanning is started by irradiating the laser beam B1 in the modulation mode, and in step S5, a search operation by the beam detector 300 is started. That is, the operator grasps the grip 320 of the beam detector 300 and proceeds the search while holding the light receiving plate 310 over a place where the reflected beam B2 is considered to exist. At this time, the worker pays attention to the sound presented from the earphone 330. Practically, the team play between the first operator who operates the laser transmitter 100 and the second worker who walks with the beam detector 300 in hand makes this search work possible. preferable. The first operator can recognize that correct beam scanning is being performed while watching the movement of the image IQ on the target display section 113.
- the coordinates displayed on the coordinate display section 1 1 2 By checking the value, the current scanning position can be recognized with high accuracy.
- the scanning speed of the beam is adjusted to an appropriate speed according to the moving speed of the second worker. Generally, a synergistic effect between the movement of the worker and the scanning of the beam can be expected if the beam scanning is performed at a speed sufficiently higher than the moving speed of the second worker.
- the reflected beam B2 hits any position of the light receiving plate 310, the second worker's ear will hear the earphones 330 to 100Hz A beeping sound is presented. This sound is the sound included in the laser beam B1 emitted in the modulation mode.
- a signal notifying that a beam has been detected is transmitted from the beam detector 300 to the laser transmitter 100 by radio.
- this signal functions as a scan control signal. That is, the control unit 115 in the laser transmitter 100 immediately stops the beam at the current scanning position when the scanning control signal is transmitted from the beam detector 300.
- the reflected beam B2 can be captured at the current position of the second worker. Can be.
- a certain time lag occurs between the time when the reflected beam B2 hits the light receiving plate 310 and the time when the beam scanning actually stops, so that the beam scanning is performed at a certain speed.
- the laser transmitter 100 stops beam scanning, a situation occurs in which the reflected beam B2 has already passed the light receiving plate 310. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the first scanning control signal is transmitted from the beam detector 300, the laser transmitter 100 operates at a lower speed than the normal scanning speed. Scanning is performed in the opposite direction to the above. That is, when the reflected beam is detected in step S6, low-speed reverse scanning is started in the subsequent step S7.
- the passed beam B 2 returns to the light receiving plate 3 10 again. Will be.
- the second scanning control signal is transmitted from the beam detector 300 to the laser transmitter 100.
- the laser transmitter 100 Upon receiving the second scan control signal, the laser transmitter 100 immediately stops beam scanning (step S9). Since the reverse scanning is performed at a low speed, even if a time lag occurs, the reflected beam B 2 stops almost at the position on the light receiving plate 3 10. At that position, the second worker can continue to hear the “beep” of the earphones 330 to 100 OHz, and has captured the reflected beam B2.
- the laser receiver 200 is installed by the second operator.
- the coordinates indicating the current beam scanning position are displayed on the coordinate display section 212 of the laser receiver 200 by a radio signal from the laser transmitter 100. I have.
- the coordinate display unit 112 on the laser transmitter 100 and the coordinate display unit 212 on the laser receiver 200 are linked.
- the second operator can change the ⁇ g location of the laser receiver 200 as necessary while checking the coordinate values.
- the current location is unfavorable for installing the laser receiver 200, such as when the ground is unstable or the road surface is sloped, it is necessary to find a new installation location .
- the laser receiver 200 is installed at a new location, it is necessary to slightly modify the beam scanning position so that the reflected beam B2 can be received at this new installation location.
- the coordinate value indicating the scanning position can be converted into a rough distance, when a new installation location is determined, the correction amount of the beam scanning position can be obtained as a rough coordinate value.
- step S11 the beam irradiation is switched to the continuous mode, and the continuous beam irradiation is performed.
- the prism P1 in the laser receiver 200 is set so as to guide the reflected beam B2 to the first path.
- the reflected beam B2 reaches the imaging surface of the CCD camera 216, and the image IQ * of the laser spot Q on the target 410 is displayed on the target display section 213. Is done. Therefore, in step S12, the position of the main housing unit 210 is roughly adjusted while looking at the target display unit 2113.
- the main housing unit 210 is operated by operating the installation state adjusting means provided on the stand unit 230 so that the image IQ * is displayed at the center position of the target display unit 212. Adjust the overall position, angle, and orientation. In this way, if the position is roughly adjusted while looking at the target display section 2 13, the reflected beam B 2 will have a force of 5 ′ and will be incident on almost the center of the optical system ⁇ 3. Position fine adjustment can be performed easily.
- the prism P1 is switched in step S13. That is, the prism drive motor 2 17 is driven to rotate the prism P 1 and to guide the reflected beam B 2 to the second path.
- the knife edge 220 is set to the most retracted state by the stepping motor 221 so that the reflected beam B2 is not blocked at all by the knife edge 220.
- the entire luminous flux of the reflected beam B2 is irradiated on the light receiving surface of the photocell 218. Therefore, in step S14, the position is finely adjusted while watching the voltmeter M. This is an adjustment so that the reflected beam B2 irradiates the most sensitive area in the plane of the photocell 218.
- the laser receiver 200 is installed at an optimal position for receiving the reflected beam B2. . Therefore, in the following step S15, the insertion position of the knife 220 is adjusted. From the standpoint of the most wide dynamic range of the monitor sound, as shown in FIG. 6, as mosquitoes? Preferred tip of the knife edge 2 2 0 is inserted until the center position of the light beam of the reflected beam B 2 Conceivable. However, in practice, it is best to set it so that it is most audible to the human ear.
- an earphone is connected to the output terminal T 1 of the operation panel 2 1 1, and while directly listening to the monitor sound from the earphone, a movement instruction of the knife edge 2 20 is given to the operation panel 2 1 1 to make the sound Perform the operation to find the position that seems to be heard most clearly.
