You normally think of fiber optic as something used in network cables. However, scientists employ dedicated fibers to detect earthquakes. In simple terms, they fire a laser down the fiber and watch…
Honestly, why not investigate the utility of this? Could one develop a fiber optic coil based microphone? It would probably result in a microphone immune to RF and magnetic interference.
Well I suspect that most feedback would still occur, because that’s largely an effect of sound from a speaker being picked up through the mic, then played back again through the speaker, over and over…
So you’ll run into feedback issues whenever you have a mic playing back to a speaker in the same place. (Any amplification scenario)

Could that make a mic with no feedback? Might make me replace my SM-58

Yeah but it only really works in the spherical cowndstage
