Live audio is sent over a visible laser beam. A microphone signal modulates the laser; a light sensor (e.g., solar cell) converts the received light back to an electrical signal that is amplified and played on a speaker.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.)
