Product Details of Light Runner

LIGHT RUNNER

An innovative and highly advanced training solution, LIGHT RUNNER is

developed to provide industry oriented fiber optics training. This unique fiber optics

laboratory teaching package offers an immediate solution for comprehensive and

stimulating laboratory based courses in key areas of optics, optoelectronics, and optical

communications.

Light Runner is an integrated modular system offering over 40 experiments

including EDFA, 4-channel WDM, OTDR, FBG, BER, Eye Pattern, OADM and

Dispersion. Backed with an indigenous touch screen interface for optical monitoring and

control, Light Runner comprises of a robust hardware constituting industry grade silica

fibers and components, in-built DSO and in-built EDFA (user configurable and provision to

store the results) Light Runner operations are fully computerized with an interactive

software that provides exhaustive information on how-to-do and what-to-expect from each

optical experiment. Light Runner software not only provides theoretical concepts associated

with each optical experiment, but also allows saving results of individual students for later

references by the tutor.

Light Runner comes out in four different versions:-

Light Runner- Premium Light Runner-Basic Light Runner- WDM Light Runner- EDFA
