Xarion Laser Acoustics
Series A in 2016
XARION Laser Acoustics GmbH, founded in 2012 and based in Vienna, Austria, specializes in the development of innovative laser-based optical microphones. These unique microphones operate on an IP-protected principle that detects sound by measuring changes in the speed of light, eliminating the need for mechanically movable or deformable components. This design results in a linear frequency response that is free from mechanical resonances, allowing for an exceptional frequency bandwidth that surpasses traditional solutions by a factor of ten. The company's products serve a wide range of applications, including acoustic metrology, nondestructive testing, process control, medical imaging, and consumer electronics, enabling clients to explore new scientific avenues and enhance their operational capabilities.
