Fiber Optics Training Course, Project & Components

Fiber Optics Training System

Optical Voice Link

This Industrial Fiber Optics kit “favorite” may have earned more high grades and scholastic honors for student science projects than any other. For students and experimenters alike, the Optical Voice Link is the ideal introduction for those first learning about the marvels, mysteries and science of light transmission through optical fiber. There is something fascinating, indeed, about hearing your own voice, after it has been converted into light and then coupled into, through, and out of an optical fiber. The Optical Voice Link is suitable for science projects; home projects for the hobbyist; short audio fiber optic curriculums for schools; inexpensive classroom demonstrations; hands on industrial training; and voice transmission in critical electrical isolation applications.

Features

· On board microphone

· Visible LED optimized to plastic fiber

· 9 volt battery operation

· Low stand by current for long battery life

· High quality multilayer PWBs

· Plastic fiber with simple terminations

· Extendible to 20 meters

· 32 page instruction booklet

Lab Course and Lab Kit

The Lab Course is a 68 Page experiment guide which contains nine fascinating fiber optics experiments. With the Lab Manual, instructors can avoid having to create their own experiments and thus spend more time with their students. Do it yourself experimenters will learn valuable practical experience about fiber optics. Each of the nine experiments contains activities which use state of the art opto electronic components. Along with learning about unique fiber optics procedures, these activities later can be used in dealing with practical, real-world situations. Experiments begin with the basics and progress to include solutions to design and circuit problems.

Experiments

· Making a light guide

· Fiber optic cable transmission

· Characteristics of connectors and splices

· Index matching procedures

· Speed of opto-electronic devices

· Fiber optic transmitter

· Receiver design

· Fiber termination techniques

LAB MANUAL IF-LM

Lab Kit contains all the fiber optic and electronic components required to complete the experiments in the Lab Course manual. (optical light pipe, fiber optic cable, splices, connectors and polishing film, with LEDs, photodetectors, transmitter and receiver electronics.

LAB MANUAL WITH LAB KIT IF-LMH

26 Page answer guide for the Lab Manual containing tables of typical experimental data derived in our labs, plus answers to all questions and homework assignments.

LAB MANUAL ANSWER GUIDE IF-LM-A

Science Project Kit

Learn about fiber optics the easy way by experimenting and building fascinating, functional projects. No prior experience is needed. Our practical, 224 page text begins with easily grasped discussions about fiber optics fundamentals. Next are eight lab experiments and a final section with five intriguing projects, including “Getting Acquainted with a Light Pipe, “ “AM fiber Optic Receiver,” and “Fiber Optic Light-Pen Cable.” Finished products such as an analog voice link and a light pen have many daily uses and applications to further study.

IF-E22

Fiber Optic Minicourse

A short course covering the basic concepts of fiber optic communications and industrial applications, intended as a supplement to other more general electronics classes. Class length is variable, to meet instructors’ time constraints: five to ten 1-hour periodes, plus two 2-hour experimental sessions. The course begins with “The History of Fiber Optics,” followed by sections describing fiber optic communications systems and their individual components. Also included are a list of additional reading references and a helpful fiber optic glossary. Experimental sessions involve students in assembling and testing a fully functional optic digital communications link with separate transmitter and receiver modules. Course comes complete with a classroom manual and kit containing all required electronic components, including printed wiring boards, fiber optic LED, photodetector and cable. No prior fiber optics experience or special tools are needed for assembly and demonstration.

INSTRUCTOR EDITION IF-MC10-INS

Intermediate Fiber Optic Classroom & Lab Course

An advanced fiber optics curriculum, for vocational and trade schools, industrial arts and university levels. Course can be tailored in length from 10 to 15 weeks. Recommended prerequisites; a basic understanding of electronics and mathematics. Course includes a text for classroom or lecture, lab course containing a comprehensive series of student experiments, and lab kit with all required components.

Part One of the classroom text places fiber optics into perspective as a transmission medium and describes its advantages over other media. Part Two examines fiber sources, detectors, and connectors, in contrast to the distinctly different characteristics of their electronic counterparts. Part Three explains in detail how fiber optic systems are designed and assembled. It covers link system design, installation, special fiber optic hardware, applications and equipment.
