LASER COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FULL DESIGN EXPLANATION

in #steemstem7 years ago

As a community system, there are two parts common in any discussion on communication.

<ol> <li>Transmitter and 2. Receiver.<br /> These are the two major parts of a communication system. From the perspective of <strong>Laser Communication System, we have the same parts but the devices that in use will definitely be different from other communication systems. <hr /> <p dir="auto"><center><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://img.esteem.ws/gkohtod5wr.jpg" alt="image" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://img.esteem.ws/gkohtod5wr.jpg 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://img.esteem.ws/gkohtod5wr.jpg 2x" /> <hr /> <p dir="auto">The two parts used in Laser Communication System are Photo-resistor and Laser, in which Laser serves as <strong><a href="https://steemit.com/zappltech/@samest/introduction-laser-communication-system" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">the transmitter and Photo-resistor as a receiver<br /> On a general note, Lasers is very dangerous, as the weak<code>code beam can cause permanent blindness to the eyes, so those working with Laser must protect themselves and be cautious not to position the beam directly to the eyes because it can damage the eyes in a second. For Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), it is advisable to make use of Laser google in a laser lab, the laser google must be at a frequency of the laser beam production. <p dir="auto"><strong>What is Laser Communication System? <p dir="auto">From my recent post, I explain what <strong><a href="https://steemit.com/dmania/@samest/laser-communication-this-is-wireless-community-through-free-space-look-at-the-red-beam-down-there-zg1hbmlh-7juo0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Laser Communication System is. According to Wikipedia laser is simply a device which emits light by means of optical amplification which based on the emission stimulation by electromagnetic radiation (Heat/Solar).<br /> This system transmits a sound signal via a laser beam. <p dir="auto"><center><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://img.esteem.ws/orhp0gk65s.jpg" alt="image" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://img.esteem.ws/orhp0gk65s.jpg 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://img.esteem.ws/orhp0gk65s.jpg 2x" /> <p dir="auto"><strong><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_harp&ved=0ahUKEwjWotLUhPPZAhUIDcAKHdRtDZkQFgglMAA&usg=AOvVaw3zca0r6SaS0CB2a2TwOond" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Wikipedia Laser Beam <p dir="auto"><center><strong>How Does Laser Communication System Work?<center> <p dir="auto">To know how it works we need to have the knowledge of devices in use. <p dir="auto"><strong>IC LM386, 9V battery, laser diode, transistor, photoresistor, capacitor, <p dir="auto">The working principle of laser communication system follows this process. A sound signal which is the input is been transmitter through transmitting circuit and laser beam carriers the transmitting signal via laser diode to a receiver circuit to produce an output signal. <p dir="auto">The transmitting system involves the signal processing electronics which can be analog or digital, a laser modular and a laser with visible and near-visible wavelength. For the signal processing electronics comes with a laser diode which serves as feedback to ensure consistent output through photodiode therein. In modulation part, there are three which are <strong>AM which is easy with a gas laser but hard with a diode. AM connote amplitude modulation. Pulse Width Modulation PWM which is a modulation technique that is used to encode a message into a pulsing signal. <strong>PFM (Pulse Frequency Modulation) the potential highest bandwidth usually less than 100kHz.<br /> With the above mentioned we have the transmitting system/circuit. <p dir="auto">The receiver system comprises of <strong>telescope which the antenna, signal processor, and a detector. The detector in receiver system consists of Pin diodes, an avalanche photodiode, and single and multiple detectors. Here, receiver and transmitter are included because after it receives the signal from transmitter system via the beam the receiver system transmitter and releases to become output signal. <p dir="auto"><strong>Why do we consider Laser Communication? <p dir="auto">The application of Laser communication begins when there is a need for high-bandwidth communication and imagery. This communication system is like a speed of light. In the discovery, the laser can be used to transmit satellite to satellite, terrestrial to the airplane, terrestrial to satellite <p dir="auto">The use if the laser cannot be overemphasized when discussion about submarines, avionics and military system. If we look at radio wave and laser communication, the laser is better than radio communication. The packing of light wavelengths to sound waves is tighter and the light waves are transmitted with a stronger signal per second. <p dir="auto">Laser Communication is been considered for 100 times bandwidth to RF (Radio Frequency). Due to the fact that the power is directed to a target, the transmission power required less much power with less much power loss. In Laser communication, we barely see the antenna because of the size. The antenna is very small to RF antenna. <p dir="auto"><strong>Application of Laser Community System <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://img.esteem.ws/y8cgflvs6g.jpg" alt="image" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://img.esteem.ws/y8cgflvs6g.jpg 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://img.esteem.ws/y8cgflvs6g.jpg 2x" /><br /> <strong><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Laser System Mounted in a Turret Attached to Airplane Nose <p dir="auto">If you have been following the review, some application already been mentioned.

Many application of Laser is still improving and new projects and techniques to improve this communication system are still in works. One of this future consideration is <strong>beam combination in which several beam streams are blend together into one high power beam. Remember never direct laser beam straight to the eyes, it can cause permanent blindness. <p dir="auto">Thanks for reading. <p dir="auto"><strong>References <ol> <li> <p dir="auto"><span><a href="https://www.online-sciences.com/the-waves/the-importance-of-lasers-in-communication-and-advantages-of-fiber-optics-cables/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">https://www.online-sciences.com/the-waves/the-importance-of-lasers-in-communication-and-advantages-of-fiber-optics-cables/ <ol> <li><p dir="auto"><span><a href="https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/projects/build-a-laser-communication-system/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/projects/build-a-laser-communication-system/ <li><p dir="auto"><span><a href="https://people.ece.cornell.edu/land/courses/ece4760/FinalProjects/s2003/kmc29/index.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">https://people.ece.cornell.edu/land/courses/ece4760/FinalProjects/s2003/kmc29/index.htm <li><p dir="auto"><span><a href="https://electronicsforu.com/electronics-projects/hardware-diy/laser-communication-system" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">https://electronicsforu.com/electronics-projects/hardware-diy/laser-communication-system <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://img.esteem.ws/d6kmrbv2ue.jpg" alt="image" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://img.esteem.ws/d6kmrbv2ue.jpg 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://img.esteem.ws/d6kmrbv2ue.jpg 2x" />

From my basic knowledge, a communication system has 3 elements which are: transmitter, channel and receiver. A laser communication principle is based on light amplification techniques, it can be transmitted and recieved through a channel known as free space. It is considered as a radio communication .

Thanks for additional information

I remember writing something on laser about a week ago very interesting.

Interesting indeed. Engineering review is always sweet

Laser the light that has loads of applications. From electronics to health care (surgeries), it is a very useful tool.

Well loaded and more of its application will evolve in future. Lasers can not be used in many commonly performed dental procedures e.g. to fill cavities between teeth etc. This is one of its disadvantage but laser is loaded.

Thanks foe your comtribution

Laser has a lot of applications. I know of it's use in Fabrication operations like cutting, welding etc. It can also be used for non destructive testing to verify the integrity of machines and products.

You are very correct. Thanks you for your submission

The features of this laser communication system is almost the same as optical fibres. I want to ask which is more efficient in the two and which is faster in transmission and receiving of information @samest

Both are efficient. The difference between optical fibers and laser is the channel. Laser transmitted via free space unlike optical fibers which are through fiber.

Cool, thanks i think i got it now, laser uses something like infrared to transmit

It's a good tech though but has an adverse effect on the human body when exposed to it. Therefore exploiting its usefulness has to be done in a careful manner.

Very correct buddy

dear sir/ma.am thanks for this post..... this post really helpful......

good luck
