DOP07 Fibre Optics Kit

Objective:

– To demonstrate transmission of light in a glass fiber.

Apparatus:

  • Laser (hand held laser diode)
  • Fiber optics kit
  • Laser or pen light with adapter

DOP07 - Fiber Optics Kit

Method:

Glass fibers are bundled together in various lengths to transmit light by principle of multiple internal reflection.

Note:

Either the pen light or the laser may be used to illuminate fiber bundles, including ones with branches.
