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
