Dave - Found several unreasonable and a few reasonable choices for the fiber optic cable, moving towards a usable products
Leanne - started looking through websites for LEDs
Will - looking and comparing detectors
Alan - evaluating data sheets and products on couplers/splicers
• Dave will work out what power is required for LED - he needs to know how many couplers we need and the lowest power the detectors can detect
• Will will look up what the lowest power that can be detected.
• Alan will decide how many splices we need and associated attunation- depending on length of cables.
• Leanne will wait until speciļ¬cs are given before looking for exact models. She needs power and frequency requirement. Power in watts - not decibels.Wavelength from LED needed for rise time.
Questions
1. Do we have to worry about how it is all installed?
“No, just trail the cable”, said Ross.
2. What’s the coupling ratio?
“Depends on type of LED, ie edge or surface emitting”, said Dr Macpherson.
