Figure 1. Conceptual design of the dual-microcomb based biomimetic acoustic mapper. Inspired by the auditory system of insects such as crickets, which is used for hunting, avoiding predators, and mating, we have developed a biomimetic fiber-optic acoustic sensing system. This system utilizes a chip-scale dual-microcomb light source to drive multiple acoustic probes through a fiber link. The entire setup is integrated into a portable, plug-and-play module with dimensions of 30×20×10 cm³.
