I. INTRODUCTION
Fiber-Optic communication is one
of the most popular technologies in
the modern days due to its high
transfer speed and large capacity. KL-
900D uses fiber optic as a trans-
mission media for the whole
experiment.
With four different data trans-
mission ways (self-module trans-
mission, module-to-module trans-
mission, PC-to-module transmission
and module-to-PC transmissions) and
various different modulation or
demodulation methods (CVSD, FSK,
etc.) Introduced in the training
system, users can obtain a very clear
view of how fiber-optic transmission
works.
The fiber optic transceivers are composed of
both a transmitter and a receiver that are
arranged in parallel so that they can operate
independently. Both the receiver and the
transmitter operate with their own circuitry
that enables each of them to handle trans-
missions in both directions. These optical
transceivers can interface with the single
mode and the multimode types of cables to
allow data communication.
II. OBJECTIVES
 To transfer data between Modules
over optical fiber.
 To execute transmission methods
like voice transmission and letter
codes.
III. PROCEDURE
Procedure A
1. Using a connecting lead to connect
the Digital output to the Moment-
ary Switch of PB1.
2. With jumpers, connect the PB1
output to the Transmitter input and
Receiver Analog1 output to the SP
input.
3. Press the switch on each module.
When Module B's pressed, the
speaker of Module A should
sound.
Procedure B
1. Set the module to Transceiver Mode.
2. Type a string "0123", and the "F" key
(Enter) on Module A's keyboard. The
LCD on Module B should first
display the "Transmitting" and then
display the received string "0123'

IV. ANALYSIS & CONCLUSION:

For this experiment, we deal with the use of fiber optic materials using a KL-900D trainer module. We
were able to demonstrate the productive use of fiber optic materials through this experiment. The equipment
that you assemble will transmit voice from one point to another, using light traveling through and optical
fiber. The main goal is to transmit from Module A and let Module B must be able to receive the message.
It can also be a two-way transmission wherein Module A or Module B can either become the transmitter or
receiver. Fiber optic cable utilizes the use of light propagation. The red light of a laser is coupled into the
core of an optical fiber in a targeted manner. This coupling screens the fiber and allows it to be clearly
identified; by lighting up the fiber at the break, fiber breaks and damaged connectors can be spotted. If the
guided light hits a damaged spot, it is to a large extent scattered out of the fiber. By lighting the fiber up
with red light, it is easier to see a fiber break from the outside.

As we connect the two modules, we first assigned Module A as the transmitter and Module B as receiver.
When we pressed the switch of Module A, the LED light of Module B lights up indicating that the data
transmitted from Module A is received in Module B. The LED light is accompanied by a beep sound coming
from the Module B speaker indicating that the transmitted information was received. The next thing we did
was to try doing a two-way transmission wherein either the Module A or B is the transmitter/receiver. We
have set it in Transceiver Mode and this time we tried pressing the switch of Module B first and as
presumed, there was immediate response from Module A and vice versa. Still in Transceiver Mode, we
have also tried to transmit a string of codes, the "0123" to the other module but there is a bit of a problem
we encountered because although the LCD screen indicates that it is transmitting, the transmission time is
too long and when it is done, the data reflected on the receiver module is either lacking or presents a different
data on screen. We figured that it must have something to do with the fiber optic cable or the optical trainer
itself. In conclusion, we were able to demonstrate the different transmission ways of fiber optics and the
important part of the fiber optic data transmission is that it sends information over fiber by turning electronic
signals into light.
