LASER COMMUNICATION: A STUDY FOR AN INEXPENSIVE ALTERNATIVE FREE-SPACE PHOTONIC TECHNOLOGY

By: RL Balane

• Distance • Ambient Light

• Reception Error • Decoding Error • Illuminance of the Laser • Time delay • Cost

Independent Variables

Dependent Variables

Independent Variables Distance • The span between the two communicating transceivers.

Ambient Light • The amount of light present in the environment (regardless of its source).

Dependent Variables Reception Error • The percentage of unreceived characters from the transmitted message.

Decoding Error • The percentage of incorrectly decoded characters from the transmitted message.

Dependent Variables Illuminance of the Laser • The amount of light (from the laser) striking on the surface of the receiver’s light sensor. Time Delay

• The actual time delay between the transmission of the message and the retrieval. Cost • The expenses of building the working project.
