Introduction to Fiber Optics Module

Fiber optics is a hybrid of three technologies: optics, lasers and electronics.
A fiber optic system is composed of an optical fiber, transmitter and receiver. This Fiber Optic module will give students a comprehensive understanding of fiber optics. We begin with the history of fiber optics, then discuss several applications, get into a little physics when we talk about light in the fiber cable and list the different types of transmitters and receivers and how they work. Hands-on activities include: Duplex data transmission, transmission of radio signals, remote passive optical detection sensor, attenuation, bending losses, fiber termination, electronic repeater and much more. Module also includes Pretest, Final test and complete parts list.
