Optical Fibre Demonstration Kit

The kit was developed to demonstrate light propagation in optical fibers, transmission, receiving and transfer of optical data. This version allows audio and one way PC to PC transmission. The set contains basic transmitter and receiver boards with possibility to connect following modules: analogue transmitter, receiver, digital transmitter, receiver, transmitter set with microphone, receiver set with amplifier and speaker, a frequency generator, USB receiver and transmitter. The set also contains special holder for fiber optics, universal AOV meter device, equipment for Tyndall´s light guiding experiment, force plates, bending cylinders, special emeries for fiber preparation, jacketed and unjacketed fibers, power sources and user guide with a set of examples. The kit contains video user guide and tutorials about the experiments. Basic experiments: • Detection of optical signal by the analogue receiver • Tyndall´s light guiding experiment • Transmission and amplification of sound, whereby the electrical signal is changed into an optical signal, amplified, changed back to an electrical signal and finally received by the speaker • Fiber to fiber connection damping measured by using mechanical adjustable holders • Transmission of signal from the frequency generator • Fiber bend damping measured by using special cylinders to create the bend • Optical liquid level sensors • Transmissions sensor allowing detecting changes of optical signals between two separate optical ends (could be used as a counter of passing objects) • Optical fiber based dynamometer • One way transmission of digital signal between two computers through USB port with the help of optical fibers
