Expt. No: 1 Date:

Establishing 650 nm Fiber Optic Analog Link


AIM: Study of 650 nm Fiber Optic Analog link to study the relationship between the input signal
and received signal.

COMPONENTS REQUIRED:

1. ST2501 Trainer with power supply cord 1
2. Optical Fiber cable 1
3. Digital Storage oscilloscope with necessary 1
connecting probes.
4. Millimeter 1
5. Connectors/Jumpers APR

THEORY:
Fiber Optic Links can be used for transmission of digital as well as analog signals. Basically
a fiber optic link contains three main elements, a transmitter, an optical fiber and a receiver. The

Lab Manual [Advanced Communication] RC2016-17 BE ETC Sem VIII GEC.ETC [2021]

transmitter module takes the input signal in electrical form and then transforms it into optical
(light) energy containing the same information. The optical fiber is the medium which carries this
energy to the receiver. At the receiver, light is converted back into electrical form with the same
pattern as originally fed to the transmitter.

TRANSMITTER:
Fiber optic transmitters are typically composed of a buffer, driver and optical source. The buffer
provides both an electrical connection and isolation between the transmitter & the electrical system
supplying the data. The driver provides electrical power to the optical source. Finally, the optical
source converts the electrical current to the light energy with the same pattern. Commonly used
optical sources are light emitting diodes (LED) and LASER beams. Simple LED circuits, for
digital and analog transmissions are shown below.

Figure 1.2: Tran conductance drive circuit


Figure 1.2 shows Tran conductance drive circuits for analog transmission-common emitter
configuration. The transmitter section comprises of:
1. Function Generator
2. Frequency Modulator &
3. Pulse Width Modulator Block.
The function generator generates the input signals that are going to be used as information to
transmit through the fiber optic link. The output voltage available is 1 KHz sinusoidal signal of
adjustable amplitude, and fixed amplitude 1 KHz square wave signal. The modulator section

accepts the information signal and converts it into suitable form for transmission through the fiber
optic link.

The Fiber Optic Link:


Emitter and Detector circuit on board form the fiber optic link. This section provides the light
source for the optic fiber and the light detector at the far end of the fiber optic links. The optic fiber
plugs into the connectors provided in this part of the board. Two separate links are provided.

The Receiver:
The Comparator circuit, Low Pass Filter, Phase Locked Loop, AC Amplifier Circuits form receiver
on the board. It is able to undo the modulation process in order to recover the original information
signal. In this experiment the trainer board is used to illustrate One-Way communication between
digital transmitter and receiver circuits.

PROCEDURE:

1. Connect the power supply cord to the main power plug & to trainer ST2501.
2. Ensure that all switched faults are OFF.
3. Make the connections as shown in figure 1.1.
a. Connect the function generator 1 KHz sine wave output to emitter input.
b. Connect the fiber optic cable between emitter output and detector input.
c. Connect the detector output to AC amplifier input.
4. On the board, put switch SW1 emitter driver to Analog mode.
5. Switch ‘On’ the power supply of the trainer and oscilloscope.
6. Observe the input to emitter (TP5) with the output from AC amplifier (TP19) on
CRO.
7. Repeat the above procedure for different optical fiber and compare the results
of two.
