INTRODUCTION

LASER COMMUNICATION
a)

Less problem of interference High deal of secrecy Viable alternative to RF communication High data rate ,small antenna size , narrow beam divergence

b)

c)

d)

Laser act as carrier for voice signal Wireless, open channel system

BLOCK DIAGRAM EXPLANATION

a) CONDENSER MIC

Capacitor or electrostatics microphone Store energy in the form of electric field More sensitive ,responsive and well suited to subtle nuances in sound

Change the distance between plate when diaphragm vibrates

b) TRANSMITTING SECTION

Consist of pre amplifier , op-amp ,VR, heat sink and laser diode

Increasing the voltage at VR1 reduces laser current Laser diode need a threshold current Laser beam is amplitude modulated Out put power VS current is linear VR1 determines quiescent brightness and over all

WORKING
TRANSMITTER SECTION

Condenser microphone covert sound signal into electrical signal

Transistor BC 548 amplify the electrical signal IC 741 act as a volume control VR1 determines the current intensity Heat sink absorb noise in the signal Laser amplitude modulated

ADVANTAGES

Less costly Circuit can be easily constructed High data rate No communication licenses required. The laser transmission is very secure because it has a narrow beam. There are no recurring line costs. Compatibility with copper or fiber interfaces and no bridge or router requirements. Lasers can also transmit through glass, however the physical properties of the glass have to be considered.

Narrow beam divergence 4/16/12

DISADVANTAGES

1.

To avoid 50Hz hum noise in the speaker, keep the from AC light sources such as bulbs.

phototransistor away

The reflected sunlight, however, does not cause any problem. But the sensor should not directly face the sun.

APPLICATIONS

Using this circuit we can communicate with our neighbors

wirelessly

It can be used in inaccessible areas. In future it can be commissioned in satellites for

communication.

It can be used in conference halls.

FUTURE EXPANSION

Instead of the short range laser, high range lasers can be used which range a few hundred meters.

Provisions have to be made for cases when there is no heavy traffic.

CONCLUSION

After the successful working of the project , it can be concluded that this project is suitable for easily

communication .

There can be further up gradations in the project which could lead to a much better system for communication.

Instead of the short range laser, high range lasers can be used which range a few hundred meters.

Provisions have to be made for cases when there is no 4/16/12
