LED-Photodetector Circuit - paid, start ASAP

This project is ongoing. Applications are due by March 21, 2025.

The aim of the project is to develop a circuit for an LED and photodetector and to couple these to an optical fiber. Experience with circuits, Arduino and programming in required. 

  1. Electrically interface the LED and photodetector with  resistors and amplifiers - this needs to be done independently by a student by the end of the semester.
  2. (optional) Implement optical coupling into an optical fiber, ensuring efficient light transmission - help will be provided with this task.
Project Timeline

ASAP

Duties

Electrically connect light a light emitter (for example L11368 or L8013) and a photodetector (for example MTD6100PT PD). Test for proper operation and stability. This work needs to be done independently and therefore requires someone with prior experience.

I'M INTERESTED IN THIS PROJECT. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?

The Office of Undergraduate Research recommends that you attend an info session or advising before contacting faculty members or project contacts about research opportunities. We'll cover the steps to get involved, tips for contacting faculty, funding possibilities, and options for course credit. Once you have attended an Office of Undergraduate Research info session or spoken to an advisor, you can use the "Who to contact" details for this project to get in touch with the project leader and express your interest in getting involved.
