Modulated HeNe or Diode Laser * Microphone or other Audio Source * Laser Audio Receiver * Not included in the IF-513 Procedure: Choose a flat, level surface about 60 x 120 cm (2 x 4 feet) in size. Collect all the items listed in the Equipment Needed section above. - Page 8 Open the laser shutter. Dim the room lights to help you observe the laser beam. Position the receiver in line with the laser so the beam strikes the audio receiver close to the photodetector access hole. Manually align the beam with the optical input (photo diode) of the audio receiver.
