Abstract
An acoustic receiver is provided. The acoustic receiver includes an optical vibrometer having an optical emitter and an optical receiver. The optical receiver is operable to emit an optical beam to a single point of reference on a conduit, and the optical receiver is operable to receive one or more reflections of the optical beam off of the single point of reference on the conduit, thereby detecting waves propagating through the conduit created by an acoustic transmitter. A processor is coupled with the optical emitter and the optical receiver. The processor is operable to: determine components of the waves created by the acoustic transmitter based on the one or more reflections of the optical beam; and determine a signal transmitted from the acoustic transmitter based on the components of the waves.
