    ABSTRACT

    Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER or laser) is

    a mechanism for emitting electromagnetic radiation, often visible light, via the

    process of stimulated emission

    Communicating with laser is not new. We are all familia r with fiber optic

    cables that carry our telephone signals from one place to another. The laser

    beam here is used as a carrier, which is modulated by the signal to be

    transmitted. On the receiver end the desired signal is separated from the

    carrier. Here we are going to talk about a wireless laser link that could be

    used to transmit information from one end to another in its line of sight.

    Wireless laser communication links are very popular in space applications for

    providing inters satellite communication.

    1.INTRODUCTION

    Laser as a communication medium can provide a good substitute

    for the present day communication systems as the problem of

    interference faced in case of electromagnetic waves is not there and

    high deal of secrecy is available. Laser communications offers a viable

    alternative to RF communications for inter satellite links and other

    applications where high-performance links are a necessity. High data

    rate, small antenna size, narrow beam divergence, and a narrow field of

    view are characteristics of laser communications that offer a number of

    potential advantages for system design. The present paper involves thestudy of wireless, open channel communication system using laser a

    carrier for voice signals. Using this circuit we can communicate with

    your own neighbors wirelessly. Instead of RF signals, light from a laser

    torch is used as the carrier in the circuit. The laser torch can transmit

    light up to a distance of about 500 meters. The phototransistor of the

    receiver must be accurately oriented towards the laser beam from the

    torch. If there is any obstruction in the path of laser beam, no sounds

    will be heard from the receiver.

    3. BLOCK DIAGRAM EXPLANATION

    3.1CONDENSERMICROPHONE

    It is also called a capacitor or electrostatic microphone. Condenser meanscapacitor, which stores energy in the form of an electric field. Condenser

    microphones require power from a battery or external source. Condenser also

    tends to be more sensitive and responsive than dynamic, making them well suited

    to capturing subtle nuances in a sound.

    The diaphragm vibrates when struck by sound waves, changing the distance

    between the two plates and therefore changing the capacitance. Specifically when

    the plates are closer together capacitance increases and a charge current occurs

    and this current will be used to trigger the transmitting section .

    3.2 TRANSMITTING SECTIONThe transmitter section comprises condenser microphone,

    transistor amplifier BC548 followed by an op-amp stage built around

    IC1. The gain of the op-amp can be controlled with the help of 1-mega

    ohm pot meter VR1.The AF output from IC1 is coupled to the base of

    transistor Bd139, which in turn, modulates the laser beam. The

    transmitter uses 9V power supply. however, the 3-volt laser torch (

    after the removal of its battery) can be directly connected to the circuit -

    -with the body of the torch connected to the emitter of BD139 and the

    spring-loaded lead protruding from inside the torch to circuit ground .

    3.3 LASER TORCH

    Here we use the light rays coming from laser torch as the medium for

    transmission. Laser had potential for the transfer of data at extremely high rates,

    specific advancements were needed in component performance and systems

    engineering, particularly for space-qualified hardware. Free space laser

    communications systems are wireless connections through the atmosphere. They

    work similar to fiber optic cable systems except the beam is transmitted through

    open space. The laser systems operate in the near infrared region of the

    spectrum. The laser light across the link at a wavelength of between 780 920nm.

    3.4 RECEIVING SECTION

    The receiver circuit uses an NPN phototransistor as the light sensor that is

    followed by a two stage transistor preamplifier and LM386 -based audio power

    amplifier. The receiver doesn't need any complicated alignment. Just keep the

    phototransistor oriented towards the remote transmitter's laser point and adjust the

    volume control for a clear sound.

    3.5 LOUD SPEAKER

    A loudspeaker (or "speaker") is an electro acoustic transducer that converts

    an electrical signal into sound. The speaker moves in accordance with the

    variations of an electrical signal and causes sound waves to propagate through a

    medium such as air or water.

    In practice, the collector and emitter current of the transistor are virtually

    6. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

    There are two sections: the transmitter board and the receiver board, both

    powered by a separate 9V battery or a fixed voltage power supply. The transmitter

    board has a condenser microphone module at one end, and the laser diode at the

    other end. The electronics modulates the intensity of the laser beam according to

    the output of the microphone. The laser diode has an inbuilt collimating lens, and

    is simply a module that connects to the transmitter board. The receiver uses a

    phototransistor as the receiving element, and the onboa rd amplifier powers a small

    8 ohm speaker. This board is therefore a high gain amplifier with a basic audio

    output stage.

    Since this design uses a higher power (and visible) laser beam, the range is

    improved, and alignment is easier and not all that critical, espec ially over a few

    hundred meters and hence get better results. The quality of sound transmitted by

    the link is quite surprising. Clearly, this project is ideal for setting up a speech

    channel between two areas, say adjacent houses or offices on opposite sides of

    the street. Or you could use it as a link between the work shop and the house. For

    duplex (two way) communication, you'll obviously need two laser 'channels. An

    important feature of transmission by laser beam is privacy. Because a laser beam

    is intentionally narrow, it's virtually impossible for someone to tap into the link

    without you knowing. If someone intercepts the beam, the link is brok en, signaling

    the interception. Fibre-optic cables also have high security, as it's very difficult to

    splice into the cable without breaking the link. However it's theoretically possible;

    so for the highest security, you probably can't beat a line -of-sight laser beam.

    Where the transmission distance is no more than meter of so, a LED (or two

    for increased power) can be substituted for the laser diode. For instance, where

    the link is being used for educational purposes, such as demonstrating fibre -optic

    coupling, or the concept of communication over a light beam. Obviously the

    security of the transmission is much lower as LEDs transmit light in all directions.

    While this laser link can be adapted for use as a perimeter protector. Now to a

    description of how it all works. We'll start with the transmitter.

    6.1TRANSMITTER

    A laser diode needs a certain value of current, called the threshold current,

    before it emits laser light. A further increase in this current produces a greater light

    output. The relationship between output power and current in a laser diode is very

    linear, once the current is above the threshold, giving a low distortion when the

    beam is amplitude modulated.

    Laser diodes are very fragile and will not survive electrostatic discharges and

    momentary surges! However, if used within specifications, the typical life of one of

    these lasers is around20,000 hours. In the transmitter circuit (Fig.1) the laser diode

    is supplied via an adjustable constant-current source. Note that the metal housing

    for the laser diode and the lens also acts as a heat sink. The laser di ode should

    not be powered without the metal housing in place. The increasing the voltage at

    VR1 reduces the laser current. The setting of VR1 determines the quiescent

    brightness of the laser beam, and therefore the overall sensitivity of the system.

    The electric microphone is powered through R1 and is coupled to the non inverting

    input of 1C1 via a capacitor. This input is held at a fixed DC voltage to give a DC

    output to bias.

    6.2 RECEIVER

    The transmitted signal is picked up by the photo detector transistor in the

    receiver (shown inFig.2). The output voltage of this diode is amplified by the

    common emitter amplifier around T4. This amplifier has a gain of 20 or so, and

    connects via VR2 to IC2, anLM386 basic power amplifier IC with a gain internally

    set to 20.This IC can drive a speaker with a resistance as low as four ohms, and

    35OmW when the circuit is powered from a 9V supply. Increasing the supply

    voltage will increase the output power marginally.

    7. WORKING

    In all of the laser communicators on this page, the laser light is amplitude

    modulated. This simply means that the amount of light the laser emits varies over

    time.

    To understand what is going on, it helps to consider how a loudspeaker makes

    sound. A loudspeaker is a paper cone attached to a coil of wire that sits in a

    magnetic field from a strong permanent magnet. When an electric current flows in

    the loudspeaker coil, the coil becomes an electromagnet, and it moves toward or

    away from the permanent magnet. As it moves, the paper cone pushes on the air

    around it, compressing the air in front of it, and expanding the air behind it. Wavesof compressed and expanded air travel to your ear, and cause your eardrum to

    move in time to the movements of the paper cone. The laser communicator adds

    two components to the loudspeaker concept. We take the electrical signal that

    goes to the loudspeaker, and connect it instead to the laser, so the laser gets

    brighter and dimmer as the electric current varies. The second component is the

    receiver, which converts the light back into an electric current. This current varies

    in time with the first current, because the amount of light that it receives is varying

    in time. This second electric current is used to move the paper cone of a

    loudspeaker, just as before. However, now the loudspeaker can be quite a

    distance away from the original electric current, without any wires connecting the

    two.

    8. PCB DESIGN AND FABRICATION

    8.1 PCB DESIGN

    Designing of PCB is a major step in the production of PCB is a major. It forms a

    distinct factor in electronic performance and reliability. The productivity of a PCB,

    its assembly and service ability also depends on the design.

    The designing of a PCB consists of designing of the layout followed by the

    preparation of the artwork. The layout should include all the relevant aspects in

    details of the PCB design while the art work preparation brings it to the form

    required for the production process. The layout can be designed with the help of

    anyone of the standard layout edition software such as Eagle, Orcad or Edwin XP.

    Hence a concept, clearly defining all the details of the circuits and partly of the

    equipment, is a prerequisite and the actual layout can start. Depending on the

    accuracy required, the artwork might be produced a 1:1 or 2:1 even 4:1 scale. It is

    best prepared on a 1:1 scale.

    8.2 PCB FABRICATION

    PCB fabrication involves the following steps.

    1. First the layout of the PCB is generated using the software ORCAD. First

    step involves drawing the circuit CIS which is a section of ORCAD. Then

    the layout is obtained using layout plus. This layout is printed on a paper.

    2. This printed layout is transferred to a Mylar sheet and t ouched with black

    ink.

    3. The solder side of the Mylar sheet is placed on the shining side of the

    copper board and is placed in a frame. It is than exposed to sunlight, with

    the Mylar sheet facing the sunlight.

    4. The exposed copper board is put in hydrogen peroxide solution. It is then

    put in hot water; shook till unexposed region becomes transparent.

    5. This is put in cold water and then the rough side is struck in to the skill

    screen. This is then pressed and dried well.

    13. PRECAUTIONS

    1. Safety instructions for lasers: Laser beams may damage the eyes severely or

    may cause blindness if they radiate into the eyes directly or indirectly. Therefore

    the laser electronics must be installed in such a manner that radiation into the eyes

    will be impossible neither directly nor indirectly via marrows in the room.

    When using lasers with an output power higher than 1 mW, you should check

    about the legal regulations for prevention of accidents and be very careful. Normal

    laser pointers sold in shops have typically output power of 1.5 mW (power

    depends on laser pointer model and what country regulations say on maximum

    power). This power level is normally not very hazardous, but can cause permanent

    dotages your eye if you stare at the beam.

    We should be very careful with higher power lasers and lasers on that power

    range that emit invisible radiation, because they can cause immediate eye damage

    (and very high power lasers can cause skin burns or fire).With any high power

    laser make sure that you have safe operating environment, necessary

    regulations/permissions and somebody that takes care that these legal regulations

    are observed. Lasers use coherent light which has very different properties to astandard lighting effect. This is what makes lasers one of the most beautiful forms

    of light, but also one of the most dangerous light sources if not used with proper

    cautions

    2. In the transmitter schematic, no ballast resistor is shown because most small

    LASER power supplies already have one built in. Yours may differ, and a resistor

    maybe needed.

    3. The receiver should be kept away from bright lights. You may put a piece of

    wax paper in front of photo transistor to keep the LASER from swamping it.

    14.ADVANTAGES

    1. Less costly2. Circuit can be easily constructed

    3. High data rate

    4. No communication licenses required.

    5. The laser transmission is very secure because it has a narrow beam.

    6. There are no recurring line costs.

    7. Compatibility with copper or fiber interfaces and no bridge or route r

    requirements.

    8. Lasers can also transmit through glass; however the physical properties ofthe glass have to be considered.

    9. Narrow beam divergence

    10.Laser transmitter and receiver units ensure easy, straightforward

    systems alignment and long-term stable, service free operation,

    especially in inaccessible environmen ts, optical wireless systems

    offer ideal, economical alternative to expensive leased lin es for

    buildings.

    17. DISADVANTAGES

    1. To avoid 50Hz hum noise in the speaker, keep the phototransistor away

    from AC light sources such as bulbs. The reflected sunlight, however, does

    not cause any problem. But the sensor should not directly face the sun.

    2. It can be used only for a few meters.

    3. Any obstructions in the LASER path cause distortion of audio signal.

    18. PROBLEMS FACED

    Although this project was successfully completed, however a few hurdles that

    came during the construction of the circuit were the breaking of the thin electricalwires after it had been soldered

    Moreover the connections with the OP-AMP chip have to be dealt with very

    carefully because one wrong connection may damage the whole chip. If the supply

    to laser is greater than it will not glow.

    All these things are to be taken care of, for the efficient working of the project.

    20. 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 inthe project which could lead to a much better system for communication. Some of

    the possible ways are as follows:-

    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.
