opticfibre

I started with guitar, because that's how i thought of the idea, but yes other areas are being considered, such as DMX512 and also a seismic measurement company has been in touch with us!?

The minimum bend radius of our bespoke optical fiber is 2mm. Its quite flexible.

[quote name='gapiro' timestamp='1470311609' post='3104985'] One of the questions I asked before was on the cable strength - one of the things that is typically associated with optical fibre is a low flexural strength - that is it is prone to snapping with low radius bends in the cable - what is the tightest bend you can do with your cables? Are you able to do something like this: The minimum bend radius of our bespoke optical fiber is 2mm. Its quite flexible. [/quote]

The frequency of the LED isn't changing just the brightness. Some people will say AM amplitude as its the amplitude of the light. people assume we are transmitting a frequency i.e 100khz and changing the intensity of the 100khz and modulating the signal on that.. but we don't transmit a frequency. The 660nm is just the frequency of RED light, but i see your point about 660nm being the carrier frequency and us changing the amplitude of it. Its similar to when we say optical, people assume its digital, Peter Jones assumed we were encoding and decoding.

Hi Guys! Its looks like the most popular question here is How do we do it? The answer is simpler than you might think, and may cause a lot more questions from you. We use IM to send the analogue optical signal Intensity Modulation not AM or FM or PWM or... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensity_modulation when the voltage signal goes up, our light goes up, when the voltage signal goes down our light goes down. Our wavelength is 660nm but i don't think that's important, the reason we use 660nm is because the bespoke optical fiber we use is most sensitive in that range. Hope this helps
