The objective of this research is to establish a fiber optic communication network and demonstrate the conversion of electrical energy to light (optical) energy. The authors have the further objective of teaching students the characteristics of a real fiber optic system. In the initial design, the authors decided to use commonly available and widely used hardware and software, to construct a fiber optic link step by step, to observe and troubleshoot each step and to catalogue problems and outcomes in order to share this research with students in the college's electronics and industrial engineering technology programs.
