LASER Transmitter/ReceiverThis set of two circuits from the basis for a very simple light wave
transmitter. A LASER beam is modulated and then aimed at a receiver that
demodulates the signal and then presents the information (voice, data, etc..).
The whole thing is very easy to build and requires no specialized parts execpt
for the LASER itself. LASERs are available from
MWK Industries.

Notes:
1. In the transmitter schematic, no ballast resistor is shown because most
small LASER power supplies already have one built in. Yours may differ, and a
resistor may be needed.
2. The receiver should be kept away from bright lights. You may want to put a
piece of wax paper in front of Q1 to keep the LASER from swamping it.
3. In order to get any decent amount of modulation, you may need to drive T1
with more then a watt.
4. The circuit can be made to transmit computer data with the use of two
modem chips.
