Setting Up A Fiber Optic

Analog Link

OBJECTIVE

ive of this experiment is nm/ 950 nm Fiber Optic Analog Link. In

to study a 660
us experiment you will study the relationship betweern the input signal 8& recelved Sighal.

THEORY

Fiber Optic Links can be used for transmission of digital as well as analog signas.
Basicaly a fiber optic link contains three main elements, a transmiter, an optical fiber & a
E.Tne transmitter module takes the input sianal in electrical form & then transtorms
t 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 typicallv composed of a buffer, driver & optical source. Ihe
Duffer electronics provides both an electrical connection & isolation between the
transmitter & the electrical system supplying the data. The driver electronic provides
electrical power to the opticalsource in a fashion that duplicates the pattern of data being
fed to the transmitter. Finally the optical source (LED) converts the electrical current to
ight energy with the same pattern. The LED SFH756V supplied with the kit operates
inside the visible light spectrumn, Its optical output is centered at near visible wavelength of
660 nm. The emission spectrum is broad, so a dark red glow can usually be seen when
the LED is on. The LED SFH450V supplied with the kit operates outside the visible light
spectrum. Its optical output is centered at near infrared wavelength of 950 nm

Receiver
The function of the receiver is to convert the optical energy into electrical form, which is
then conditioned to reproduce the transmitted electrical signal in its original form. The
detector SFH250V used in the kit has a diode type output. The parameters usually
considered in the case of detector are its responsivity at peak wavelength & response
time. SFH250V has responsivity of about 4 A per 10 of incident optical energy at 950
W

nmand it has rise& fall time of 0.01 sec.

PIN photodiode is normally reverse biased. When optical signal falls on the diode, reverse
Current starts to flow, thus diode acts as closed switch and in the absence of iignt
intensity. it acts as an open switch. Since PIN diode usually has lowresponsivity. a trans
impedance amplifier is used to convert this reverse current into voltage. This voltage is
then amplified with the help of another amplifier circuit. This voltage is the duplication of

Switch ON the power supply.
Feed about 2Vpp sinusoidal signal of 1KHzfrom the function generator to the IN
post of Analog Buffer.
Connect the output post OUT of Analog Buffer to the post TX IN of Transmitter.
Slightly unscrew the cap of SFH756V (660nm). Do not remove the cap from the
connector. Once the cap is loosened, insert the one-meter fiber into the cap. Now
tighten the cap by screwing it back.
Connect the other end of the Fiber to detector SFH350V (Photo Transistor
Detector) very carefully as per the instructions in above step.
Observe the detected signal at post ANALLOG OUT on oscilloscope as shown in
FIG 1.2. Adjust Intensity control pot P2 Optical Power control potentiometer so that
you receive signal of 2Vpp amplitude.
To measure the analog bandwidth of the phototransistor, vary the input signal
frequency andobserve the detected signal at various frequencies.
Plot the detected signal against applied signal frequency and from the plot
determine the 3dB down frequency.
Releat the same procedure as above for sccond transmitter SFH450V by making
the following changes. Analog bandwidth of SFH350 for TX1 SFH756 is about 300
KHz while for X2 SFH450 is below 300 KHz.
Keep switch $VW9towards TX2 position.

Here ve of this experiment is to study a 660nm & 950nm Fiber Optic Digital Link,

the receiver end.
THEORY

periment No.1 we have seen how analog sianals can be transmitted &receved
LED, Fiber & Detector can be configured for the digital applications to transmit
elyQata over Fiber. Thus basic elements of the link remain same even for digital
application.

Transmitter

Receiver
Sri-51V is a digital opto-detector. It delivers a digital output, which can
be processed

the SFH551v
opto-detector comprises the photodiode device, a trans-impedance amplfier.
comparator and a level shifter. The photodiode converts the detected light into a
photocurrent. With the aid of an integrated lens the light emanating from the plastic Fiber
IS almost entirely focused on the surface of the diode. At the next stage the trans
Impedance amplifier converts the photocurrent into a voltage. In the comparator. the
voltage is Compared to a reference voltage. In over to ensure good synchronism between
the reference and the trans-impedance output voltage, the former is derived from a
second circuit of a similar kind, which incorporates a "blind" photodiode. The comparator
derives level shifter with an open collector output stages. Here a catch diode (similar to
a

Schotky-TTL) prevents the saturation of the output transistor, thus limiting the output
voltage to the supply voltage.
