The Lab Manual is a 68-page guide which contains nine fascinating fiber optics experiments. With the Lab Manual, instructors can avoid having to create their own fiber optics or opto-electronics experiments and thus spend more time with their students. Do-it-yourself experimenters will learn valuable practical experience about fiber optics.

Each of the nine experiments contains activities which use state-of-the-art opto-electronic components. Along with learning about unique fiber optics procedures, these activities later can be used in dealing with practical, real-world situations.

Experiments begin with the basic physics and progress toward solutions for design and circuit problems.

• Making a light guide
• Fiber optic cable transmission
• Characteristics of connectors and splices
• Index-matching procedures
• Speed of opto-electronic devices
• Fiber optic transmitter
• Receiver design
• Fiber termination techniques
