The sound receiving diaphragm 6 is adhesively bonded to the support 7 of the optical fiber 2 and the periphery thereof with an organic adhesive 8. Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the configuration as described above, since the support 7 of the optical fiber 2 and the periphery of the sound receiving diaphragm 5 are bonded by the 05-05-2019 1 organic adhesive 8, the end face of the optical fiber 2 The gap of the receiving diaphragm 5 fluctuates with temperature and humidity, and an unstable 7-application / Perot interference system is to be formed, which is not preferable in practical use. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, the present invention provides an acoustic senna that is resistant to environmental changes such as temperature and humidity fluctuations. In order to solve the above problems, in order to solve the above problems, the acoustic sensor according to the present invention bonds the support for holding the optical fiber and the periphery of the receiving diaphragm with a low melting point metal, and temperature and humidity To construct a stable sensor head. In the present invention, in the above-described structure, the optical fiber support and the receiving diaphragm consisting of a silicon single crystal plate are bonded with a low melting point metal, so that the two opposing surfaces necessary to construct an interference system The distance between the acoustic sensor and the sensor is extremely stable with respect to temperature and humidity, so that the operating point of the acoustic sensor is stable with respect to temperature and humidity. Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the structure of an acoustic sensor in an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the controller 1 and the optical fiber 2 are the same as in the prior art, and 3 'indicates a sensor head. In FIG. 1B, 6 'is a receiving diaphragm made of a silicon single crystal plate, and 9 is pb. It is a low melting point metal binder made of a composition alloy of Sn and B. The same parts as those in the conventional example shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. The operation of the acoustic sensor configured as described above will be described below. First, monochromatic light power emitted from a light source such as a semiconductor laser contained in the controller 1 passes through the optical fiber 2 and enters the sensor head 3 'using the Fabry-Perot interference, and the end face of the optical fiber 2 is The light partially transmitted through the coated partially reflective coating film 4 is partially reflected by the partially reflective coating film 6 coated on the inner side of a sound receiving diaphragm 5 ′ made of a silicon single crystal plate disposed parallel to the end face of the optical fiber 2. The periphery of the silicon single crystal plate 6 ′ and the support 7 of the optical fiber 2 are firmly bonded by the low melting point metal bonding material 9. The light incident from the optical fiber 2 repeatedly causes reflection interference between the partial reflection coating film 4 of the optical fiber 2 and the partial reflection coating film 6 of the sound receiving diaphragm 5 ′, and returns to the optical fiber 2 again. The light is converted to electricity. As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the optical fiber support and the periphery of the sound receiving diaphragm S ′ are joined by the low melting point metal bonding material 9, the Fabry-Perot interference constituting the sensor head is made The system is extremely hot. It becomes a parallel plate repetitive interference system stable against humidity, and provides a sensor with stable performance, and its practical effect is large. In this embodiment, the sound receiving diaphragm 6 'is disposed as an acoustic sensor, but in principle, the same configuration can be used to 05-05-2019 2 measure the pressure, and the sound receiving diaphragm 6' may be used. It may be a silicon diaphragm. Further, it is desirable that the low melting point metal bonding material 9 be a material having a small thermal expansion coefficient and a small thermal strain. Further, as the low melting point metal material, in addition to an alloy of Pb, Sn, and Bi, an alloy containing a metal component such as C (1, In, Zn, Mb, etc.) may be used. Effect of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, an acoustic sensor having extremely stable performance against temperature and humidity by bonding the support of an optical fiber to the periphery of a silicon single crystal plate with a low melting point metal material. The practical effects are great.
