Description of Transmitter Unit
The schematic diagram is depicted below.

Figure 1
The LASER controller and driver circuit facilitates study of LASER diode
characteristics in the automatic current control and automatic power control modes,
selectable through the toggle switch provided on the module. Intensity modulation
with analogue or digital signals is through Vin. The optical intensity/carrier level is
settable by the knob marked set IF. The LD current and the monitor photo detector
current are monitored on the leads marked VL and VM. Optical power is coupled to
an optical fiber using the terminal SMA connectors. In the case of free space
communication the output from the module links to the RX Unit through a line-ofsight path.

Description of Receiver Unit
Scientech 2506 RX Unit comprises two parts
a)

The optical power meter, and

b)

The linear detector

Figure 2
These are described below:
The Optical Power Meter converts the optical power incident at the port marked FO
PIN through an SMA terminated optical fiber and facilitates display of the optical
power Po in decibels referred to a milli watt. The two wires marked Po, are connected
to the 0-2000 m V range of the DMM. The optical power, in decibels, is given by
DMM Reading/ 10 in decibels referred to 1mw. As an example, if the meter reading is
-193 then the optical power Po is -193/10 dBm, or simplified,-19.30 dBm. For higher
sensitivity, in some experiments, one may use the 0-200.0 mV range of the DMM. In
such cases too, the DMM reading has to be divided by 10. As an example, if the
DMM reading in the 0-200.0mV range is -133.5 then the optical power, Po, is read as
-13.35 dBm.
The Optical Power meter section can be used in experiments involving other
equipment too. The linear detector is activated through the port marked FO PT.
The detector receives a LASER (any optical) signal and demodulates the intensity
modulated signal on the carrier. For continuous wave light, a DC voltage proportional
to the intensity results The SMA connector facilitates coupling to an optical fiber.

Basic Definitions and Concepts:

LEDs and LASER Diodes are the commonly used sources in optical communication
systems, whether the system transmits digital or analogue signals. In the case of
analogue transmission, direct intensity modulation of the optical sources is possible
provided the optical output from the source can be varied linearly as a function of the
modulating electrical signal amplitude. LEDs have a linear optical output with
relation to the forward current over a certain region of operation. It may be mentioned
that in many low-cost, short-haul and small bandwidth applications. LEDs at 660nm,
850nm, and 1300nm are popular. While direct intensity modulation is simple to
realize, higher performance is achieved by fm modulating the base-band signal prior
to intensity modulation.
LASER Diodes are used in telecom, data com and video communication applications
involving high speeds and long hauls. All single mode optical fiber communication
systems use LASERs in the 1300nm and 1550 nm windows. LASERs with very small
line widths also facilitate realization of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) for
high density communication over a singe fiber. The inherent properties of LASER
diodes that make them suitable for such applications are high coupled optical power
into the fiber (Typically greater than 1 mW), high stability of optical intensity, small
line-widths (less than 0.05 nm in special devices), high speed (several GHz) and high
linearity (over a specified region suitable for analogue transmission). Special LASERs
also provide for generation/ amplification of, optical signals within an optical fiber.
These fibers are known as erbium doped fiber amplifiers; LASER diodes for
communication applications are available in the wavelength regions 650nm, 780nm,
850nm, 980nm, 1300nm and 1550nm.
Even though a variety of LASER diode constructions are available there are a number
of common features in all of them. We have selected a very simple device (650nm/2.5
mw) to demonstrate the functioning of a LASER diode.

Current Control Modes of Operation
Figure 3

Scientech Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

Scientech 2506
A LASER diode has a built in photo detector, which one can employ to monitor the
optical intensity of the LASER at a specified forward current. This device is also
effectively utilized in designing an optical negative feedback control loop, to stabilize
the optical power of a LASER in the steep lasing region. The electronic circuit
scheme that employs the monitor photodiode to provide a negative feedback for
stabilization of optical power is known as the Automatic Power Control Mode (APC).
If a closed loop employs current control alone to set optical power then this mode is
called the Automatic Current Control Mode (ACC).
The disadvantage of ACC scheme is that the optical power output may not stable at a
given current due to the fact that small shifts in the lasing characteristics occur with
temperature changes and ageing. The disadvantage of the APC is that the optical
feedback loop may cause oscillations, if not designed properly.

Connect the 2 meter PMMA FO cable (cable 1) to TX Unit and couple the
LASER light to the power meter FO PIN on the RX Unit as shown. Select ACC
mode of operation.
Set DMM 1 to the 2000 mV range. On the RX side connect the wires marked Po
to it. Turn it on. The power meter is now ready for use. Po = (reading)/10 dBm.
It required change the DMM range to 200mV.
Set DMM2 to the 200.0 mV range and connect it between the wire VL and
ground on the TX unit. IF = VL /100.
Adjust the SET IF on the TX knob to the extreme anticlockwise position to
reduce IF to zero. The power meter reading will normally be below -40dBm or
out of range.
Slowly turn the SET IF knob clockwise to increase IF and Po, Note IF and Po
readings. Take closer reading prior to and above the LASER threshold of
LASER Diode.
Plot the graph Po vs IF on a semi log graph sheet. Determine the slopes prior to
lasing and after lasing. Record the LASER threshold LASER Diode current. It
should look like as shown below:

Objective:
Study of the operations of the Automatic Current Control (ACC) and the Automatic
Power Control (APC) modes

Figure 8
In the ACC mode the feedback to the LASER driver is derived from the load current
IF. V0 tracks the Vref (or Vin DC). As already noted, this may not ensure constant
optical power for a given Vref, if shifts in LASER threshold of LASER Diode occur
due to change in temperature and ageing. On the other hand the APC circuit derives
its feedback from the monitor photo current; IM which is proportional to Po, Here, VM
tracks Vref. For a given Vref, we get a constant optical power output, irrespective of
changes in temperature and ageing procedure with Block Schematic. The schematic
diagram for the ACC and APC modes is shown below.

Design and Evaluation of a LASER Diode Linear Intensity Modulation System
Experiment 3
Objective:
Study of the AC characteristics of an Intensity Modulation LASER and Fiber
Optics System:
I)

Vin (AC) vs Vout (AC) for fixed carrier power Po and signal frequency, F0

II)

Vin max vs Po for known distortion free out at fixed F0

Basic Principles and Definitions:

The intensity modulation/demodulation system is realized using the L T 2506 TX
Unit and the RX Unit linked through an optical fiber. We use the 2-meter PMMA
fiber cable.

Figure 10
The LASER carrier power, Po is set by adjusting the SET.IF knob in the middle
LASER region.
Selection of optimum carrier power is essential to minimize distortion. Limiting depth
of modulation also ensures distortion free transmission. The bandwidth of the system
in the present case is limited by the photo detector. We may choose to operate in the
ACC or APC mode to obtain output proportional to the modulating signal Vin.
An ideal IM transmission system will have the relationship Vout = G.Vin, where G is
a factor dependent on the LASER DIODE conversion efficiency, loss in the optical
transmission path and the LASER photo detector conversion efficiency. Distortion
results from the LASER DIODE being biased in the non-linear region. Bandwidth is
limited by the slowest device in the system; in this case it is the phototransistor. Speed
can be increased by using a PIN diode, which is inherently a faster device.

Design and Evaluation of a LASER Diode Digital Intensity Modulation System
Experiment 4
Objective:
Study of the rise time and fall time pulse width distortion of a LASER and Fiber
Optics digital transmission system and determine the Propagation Delay
Basic Principles and Definitions:
The intensity modulation/demodulation for digital system is realized using the
LT2506 Tx and the Rx units linked through an optical fiber. We use the 2-meter
PMMA fiber cable. The LASER carrier power, Po is set by adjusting the SET IF knob.
It is set below the lasing threshold LASER Diode for state '0'. An 'I'1 at the input will
drive the LASER to LASER mode and in effect high intensity. The Rin for the linear
detector can be set to values to study the responses.

Figure 12
1.

On the Tx Unit, connect one end of the PMMA FO cable to the LASER Po. On
the Rx Unit, the other end is first connected to FO PIN to set the carrier power
level, Po. Then it is removed and given to FO PT. Setting of PO may not have
any effect with some LASER diodes.

2.

Set DMM to the 2000 mV range. Connect the wires marked Po to it. The power
meter is now ready for use. Po = (Reading)/10 dBm.

Transmission of LASER through an Optical Fiber:
Experiment 5
Objective:
Study of various types of losses that occur in optical fibers and measure the loss in dB
of optical fiber patch cords individually and also connected in tandem using an in-line
adaptor.
Basic Definitions:
Attenuation in an optical fiber is a result of a number of effects. This aspect is well
covered in the books referred. We will confine our study to attenuation in a fiber due
to macro bending and estimate the losses in the patch cords. The loss as a function of
the length of the fiber is not measurable here as the lengths of fibers under
consideration are too short. The optical power at a distance, L, in an optical fiber is
given by PL = Po 10(L/100) where Po is the launched power and is the attenuation
coefficient in decibels per unit length. The typical attenuation coefficient value for the
PMMA fiber under consideration here is 0.3 dB per meter for light at a wavelength of
660 nm. For the GI fibers it is of the order of 3 to 4 dB-per kilometer at 850 nm.
Loss in fibers expressed in decibels is given by
10 log (Po /PF)
Where, Po is the launched power and PF is power at the far end of the fiber. Typical
losses at connector junctions may vary from 0.3 dB to 0.8 dB.
The loss equation for a simple fiber optic link is given as:
Pin (dBm)-P out (dBm) = LJ1 + LFIB1 + LJ2 + LFIB2 + LJ3 (dB); where, LJ1 (dB) is the
loss at the LED-connector junction, LFIB1 (dB) is the loss in cable LJ2 (dB) is the
insertion loss at a splice or in-line adaptor, LFIB2 (dB) is the loss in cable 2 and LJ3
(dB) is the loss at the connector -detector junction. Losses in fibers also occur at fiberfiber joints or splices due to axial displacement, angular displacement, separation,
mismatch of cores diameters, mismatch of numerical apertures, improper cleaving and
cleaning at the ends.
In the experiment we will be studying the losses due to core differences and losses
due to core mismatches. Loss as a function of length is not possible because the
lengths under consideration are too small. Loss as a function of wavelength is not
possible as we have only one source.
The patch cords designated for the experiments are as follows:
Cable 1:

2-meter PMMA SI/MM (BLACK Jacket)

Cable 2:

2-meter Glass fiber (ORANGE Jacket)

The experiment may be repeated for other patch cords if available.

LASER Free Space Communication
Experiment 6
Objective:
Study of the performance of an analogue and digital, free space communication
system
Basic Principles and Definitions:
In this experiment a free space intensity modulation/demodulation system is realized
using the TX and RX Units. The system can work effectively up to a few tens of
meters. All experiments are identical to Experiments 3 and 4 except that instead of an
optical fiber to couple the transmitter output to the detector, we employ transmission
of the LASER beam through free space. The scheme is depicted in the diagram below.
Since the procedures are identical to Experiments 3 & 4, detailed descriptions are
skipped here. To obtain effective results, the line-of sight system should LASER
Diode be properly aligned and then retained in a stable position.

Determination of Numerical Aperture of Optical Fibers
Experiment 7
Objective:
Determination the numerical Aperture of the Optical Fibers available
Basic Definitions:
Numerical aperture of any optical system is a measure of how much light can be
collected by the optical system. It is the product of the refractive index of the incident
medium and the sine of the maximum ray angle.
NA == ni. sinmax
ni for air is 1, hence NA = sinmax
For a step-index fiber, as in the present case, the numerical aperture is given by
N= (n core2 n cladding2)
For very small differences in refractive indices the equation reduces to
NA = n core (2)
Where is the fractional difference in refractive indices.
Procedure with Block Schematic
The schematic diagram of the numerical aperture measurement system is shown
below and is self explanatory.

Figure 16

Connect one end of the PMMA FO cable to Po of TX Unit and the other end to
the NA jig, as shown.

Plug the AC mains. Light through the LASER Diode should appear at the end of
the fiber on the NA Jig. Turn the Set IF knob clockwise to set to maximum Po.
The light intensity of LASER Diode should increase.

3.

Hold the white screen, provided in the Kit vertically at a distance of 15 mm (L)
from the emitting fiber end and view the red spot on the screen. A dark room
will facilitate good contrast. Position the screen-cum-scale to measure the
diameter (W) of the spot. Choose the largest diameter.

4.

Compute NA from the formula

NA= sinmax = W / (4L2+W2)
Tabulate the reading and repeat the experiment for 10mm, 20mm, and 25mm
distance.

5.

In case the fiber is under filled, the intensity within the spot may not be evenly
distributed. To ensure even distribution of light in the fiber, first remove twists
on the fiber and then wind 5 turns of the fiber on to the mandrel as shown. Use
an adhesive tape to hold the windings in position. Now view the spot. The
intensity will be more evenly distributed within the core.

Inferences:
The numerical aperture as recorded in the manufacturer's data sheet is 0.5 typically.
The value measured here is 0.437. The lower reading recorded is mainly due to the
fiber being under filled. The acceptance angle is given by 2 max. The value of 52
recorded in the experiment is close to the range of 55-60. The lower reading is again
due to the fiber being under filled.
