Laser Communications (2nd)

I assembled the PCB´s for the DL2CH laser transceiver and did some basic tests using a ordinary LED as signal source. The lens is a 90mm one and the sensor is  a OPT-101. The first picture shows the transmitter and the optical sensor head. The second picture shows the grey tube that contains the lens and the optical sensor. In the background you can see the small red light that comes from the LED.

After long time thinking about it  i started to build up my laser station i edged the PCB´s today. The parts are on the way from the distributor. The diodes are already available here (2x 10mW, red). I also buyed some lenses in the past week. The biggest problem seems to be the mechanical fixture for fine adjustment of the direction of the 3 different optical axes.
