Basic Fibre Optic Trainer
The BFOT is designed to teach the basics of Fibre Optics. The unit demonstrates properties of Fibre Optics transmitter and receiver, characteristics of Fibre Optic cables and different modulation/demodulation techniques. A number of experiments are included in the workbook and the BFOT can also be used to demonstrate various digital communication techniques via Fibre Optic link using the range of digital communications trainers.
Experiments:
- Fibre optic analogue link
- Fibre optic digital link
- The relationship between the input signal and received signal in a 650nm fibre optic analogue/digital link
- AM system using analogue and digital inputs
- FM and PWM modulation systems
- Propagation loss in optical fibre
- Bending loss in optical fibre
- Measurement of numerical aperture
- Characteristics of E-O converter (LED)
