Industrial Fiber Optic Lab Manual With Kit

The Lab Manual is a 68-page guide that contains nine fascinating fiber optics experiments. Lab Manual is now in its 5th edition, which has full-color illustrations throughout. With the Lab Manual, instructors can avoid having to create their own fiber optics or opto-electronics 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 that 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 basic physics and progress toward solutions for design and circuit problems.

Experiments include:

• 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 Kit contains all the fiber optic and electronic components required to complete the experiments in the Lab Manual. (Lab Kit contains optical light pipe, fiber optic cable, splices, connectors and polishing film, with LEDs, photodetectors, transmitter and receiver electronics. No special tools or training required.)
