A new technology for underwater acoustics is being developed by scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory. This technology uses flashes of lights and lasers to create sounds under the water. The conversion of light into sound can be achieved by sufficiently concentrating the light to “ionize” a very small amount of the water. The water [...]
