From the project
A laser-based audio communication system built for the Howard University IEEE H.O.P.E. (Hands-On PCB Engineering) Project (Fall 2025).
A laser-based audio communication system built for the Howard University IEEE H.O.P.E. (Hands-On PCB Engineering) Project (Fall 2025).
Project Lux is a free-space optical (FSO) communication system that transmits a high-fidelity audio signal over a laser beam.
This project demonstrates the core principles of optical communication. The system consists of two main components: 1. The Transmitter: Modulates an audio signal from a source (like a phone or laptop) onto a laser beam. 2. The Receiver: Intercepts the laser beam, converts the light back into an electrical signal, and amplifies it to…
