An acoustic sensing device includes a housing having an internal cavity
filled with a vibration decoupling medium. An acoustic window formed of
an acoustically transparent material is mounted in the housing. This
mounting can be by antivibration mounts to prevent housing noise from
affecting the acoustic window. A scanning laser vibrometer is positioned
within the housing and directed to detect vibrations of the acoustic
window. Antivibration mounts are joined between said scanning laser
vibrometer and said housing. In further embodiments, the scanning laser
vibrometer detects vibrations at a plurality of locations on the acoustic
window forming a virtual array.
