    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_microphone

    A laser microphone is a surveillance device that uses a laser beam to detect sound vibrations in a distant object. It can be used to eavesdrop with minimal chance of exposure. The object is typically inside a room where a conversation is taking place and can be anything that can vibrate (for example, a picture on a wall) in response to the ...

    It used a straight rod, led through an insulating bushing into a cavity, where it was terminated with a round disc that formed one plate of a capacitor. The cavity was a high-Q round silver-plated copper "can", with the internal diameter of 31 ⁄ 40 in (19.7 mm) and about 11 ⁄ 16 in (17.5 mm) long, with inductance of about 10 nanohenries. [5]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covert_listening_device

    A laser microphone can be used to reconstruct audio from a laser beam shot onto an object in a room, or the glass pane of a window. Researchers have also prototyped a method for reconstructing audio from video of thin objects that can pick up sound vibrations, such as a houseplant or bag of potato chips.
