====Variations====
  * Spray water into the lasers path to simulate rain causing interference to the signal.
  * Swap the solar panel for a photodiode or phototransistor front end to improve sensitivity and bandwidth.
  * Add a focusing lens or small telescope at the receiver to increase range and signal-to-noise ratio.
  * Use AC coupling and simple low-pass/high-pass filters to reduce ambient light hum and DC offsets.
  * Try different laser wavelengths and powers (within safe classes) and compare performance indoors vs outdoors.
  * Experiment with amplitude vs frequency modulation and compare audio quality and robustness.



====Safety Precautions====
  * Use only eye-safe laser classes (Class 1 or Class 2 for classroom demos). Never stare into a beam or point it at eyes, people, vehicles, or aircraft.
  * Control reflections: avoid mirrors, shiny metals, windows, and water surfaces that can redirect beams.
  * Secure the laser on a stable mount; align at tabletop height with a safe backstop to capture stray beams.
  * Observe battery and wiring safety (correct polarity, no shorts, appropriate fusing for higher-capacity packs).
  * Keep audio amplifiers within rated loads; start with low volume to protect hearing and equipment.
  * Follow local regulations for outdoor laser use; obtain permission if operating outside.




====Questions to Consider====
  * Why does ambient light cause hum or noise at the receiver? (Unwanted DC and low-frequency fluctuations ride on top of the signal; AC coupling and filtering help.)
  * Why might a photodiode outperform a solar panel here? (Smaller junction capacitance and tailored biasing provide higher bandwidth and sensitivity.)
  * How does adding a focusing lens change range and quality? (It concentrates optical power on the sensor, boosting signal relative to background.)
  * What modulation choice improves robustness against intensity fluctuations? (Frequency or pulse modulation is less sensitive to slow changes in received light.)
  * Why is precise alignment important for long links? (Laser beams are narrow; small angular errors miss the detector and drastically cut received power.)
