NPL has developed a laser-based acoustic mapping technique, collaborating with PMC loudspeakers to adapt the technique into a valuable design tool.

NPL scientists have furthered theirdevelopment of a novel acousto-opticlaser-based measurement techniquefor mapping how sound radiates fromacoustic sources.

Through collaboration with PMC Ltd.,a manufacturer of high-endloudspeakers, the experimentaltechnique has been honed into anindustrially relevant and valuable toolfor the design and testing of acoustic products, namely loudspeakers.
