SETTING UP A FIBER OPTIC DIGITAL LINK. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this experiment is to study 950 and 660 nm fiber optic digital link. Here you will study how digital signal can be transmitted over fiber cable and reproduced at the receiver end. EQUIPMENTS: Link-A kit. 20 MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. 1 Meter Fiber cable. Power supply. THEORY: In the experiment no. 1, we have seen how analog signal can be transmitted and received using LED, fiber and detector. The same LED, fiber and detector can be configured for the digital applications to transmit binary data over fiber. Thus basic elements of the link remains same even for digital applications. TRANSMITTER: LED digital, DC coupled transmitters are one of the most popular variety due to their case of fabrication. We have used a standard TTL gate to drive a NPN transistor, which modulates the LED SFH450V OR SFH756V source (Turns it ON and OFF). RECEIVER: There are various methods to configure detectors to extract digital data. Usually detectors are of linear nature. We have used a photodetector

PROCEDURE: Connect the power supply cables with proper polarity to kit. While connecting this, ensure that the power supply is OFF. Now switch on the power supply. Keep all the switch faults in OFF position. Keep Jumpers JP2 & JP4 towards +5V position, JP3 towards pulse position, JP5 & JP6 towards TX1 position. Keep Switch SW1 at 100 Hz - 1 kHz. Feed the Onboard Square (TTL) signal of about 1 KHz to IN post of Digital Buffer Section and observe the signal at its OUT post . It should be same as that of the input signal.

Connect OUT post of the Digital Buffer Section to TX IN post of

TRANSMITTER. Slightly unscrew the cap of LED SFH 756V (660 nm). Do not remove the cap from the connector. Once the cap is loosened, insert the fiber into the cap. Now tight the cap by screwing it back. Connect the other end of the fiber to detector SFH 551V RX2 (Digital Detector) very carefully. Keep Switch S3 in TXIN position. Observe the received signal on CRO at TTL OUT post. The transmitted signal & received signal are same. Vary the frequency of the input signal and observe the output response.

Keep Jumpers JP5 & JP6 towards TX2 position. Remove fibre from TX 1 and connect to TX 2 (SFH 450V (950 nm). Observe the received signal on CRO at TTL OUT post.
