Economic and Compact Apparatus Uses 20-Meter Optical Fiber
1MHz electrical
pulses generated by a built-in oscillator are transformed into light pulses and simultaneously
applied to two optical fibers, one long and one short. Their length difference
is 20m. After traveling along the fibers, the light pulses are transformed back
into electrical pulses and applied to the two channels of an oscilloscope, where
the time delay between the arriving pulses caused by their different path
lengths can be seen, measured, and used to calculate the velocity of light. The
apparatus includes the 15 x 11cm electronic board, a 9V DC power supply, 15cm &
20m fiber optic cables with efficient "sweet spot", and a full instruction
manual.You need to supply a 30MHz dual channel oscilloscope and banana plug
adapters for connecting to the 2mm circuit board jacks.
