| Summary: | This report represents the development of a fiber optic roughness measuring system. As
the main part of my final-year project, I developed a system to measure roughness of
surfaces using optical fiber. A lot of researches have been done to get a better view of
surface roughness and this is described in detail in this report. Besides that, in this
project, I am using transmitter and receiver chip to transmit and receive the light to scan
on the surface needed. Light from transmitter is sent out through one of the multimode
optical fiber twin pack and received by receiver chip through the other attached optical
fiber. The hardware system is made of mild steel and the transmitter and receiver
circuits are designed in such a way that can be compatible with the system hardware.
The receiver circuit has added on circuits of amplifiers to get the outputs amplified. The
methods used and steps taken throughout this project are also explained clearly in this
report. The measured outputs are obtained through readings on digital multimeter. The
measurement results and explanation for the results obtained are presented in the second
last chapter. Finally, the last chapter as the conclusion exposes the overall view of the
project and suggestions in order to make the system better besides the future prospect of
the project. This is to avoid preventable problems during the implementation and usage
of the system. |
