ABSTRACT:
An optical transducer includes a light source and a light detector mounted on a base member in laterally spaced relation to each other, a deformable membrane overlying the light source and light detector, and a light transparent body between the light source and light detector on one side, and the deformable membrane on the opposite side, such as to direct light emanating from the light source to the membrane, and to direct light reflected from the membrane to the light detector in accordance with the deformations of the membrane. According to the described method of making the optical transducer, the light source and light detector are enclosed in a first casing closed at one end by the base member and open at the opposite end; and the light transparent body is enclosed in a second casing to be closed at one end by the deformable membrane and open at the opposite end. The two casings are attached to each other with their open ends facing each other such that the light transparent body of the second casing overlies the light source and light detector of the first casing.
