laser Security System

This document describes Arpit Ranka's 12th grade physics investigatory project on a laser security system. The objective was to make and study the functions of such a system. The system uses a laser light and light dependent resistor (LDR) that triggers an alarm if the laser beam is broken. The circuit diagram and materials used are provided, along with safety precautions when working with lasers.

ACKNOWLEGEMENT

We express our heartfelt gratitude to Rupa Mam, for the help


and guidance she provided for completing the investigatory
project and for providing us this platform to hone our
scientific skills by making this project.
We shall be failing in our duty if we don’t acknowledge the
assistance and guidance extended by our lab assistant Mr.
Jay. Most of all I thank our school management, for providing
us the facilities and an opportunity to do this project.
Lastly, I would like to thank my school mates who have
rendered and done this project along with me. Their support
made this project fruitful.

OBJECTIVE –

To make and study the


functions of a LASER SECURITY
SYSTEM.
IntRODUCtion –

A laser alarm system operates by projecting a beam of


invisible laser light across a doorway or window opening.
When the light is broken, it activates a buzzer or alarm. The
principles are very similar to those of lower tech burglar
alarms. A laser alarm requires only slightly more sophisticated
electronics and can be put together by anyone with a
soldering gun and a knack for tinkering with basic circuits and
transistors.
AIM –
To make and study the functions of a LASER SECURITY
SYSTEM.

THeoRY –
This system for security uses the combination of LASER light
and LDR. The LDR module has an onboard potentiometer to
adjust the sensitivity of LDR, so that it only senses laser light
falling onto it.
The concept is quite simple and similar to what we see in
movies where antique, priceless ornaments are protected
under laser lights.
As someone crosses these lights, an alarm runs on to indicate
unauthorised presence. This project works similarly.
In normal conditions, where there is always laser light falling
on the LDR, the LDR module always gives a high signal to
microcontroller.
When someone crosses this laser light, it will behave as an
obstruction between the LDR module and laser light,
resulting in no light falling on LDR. In such cases LDR module
gives a low signal to the microcontroller, which indicates it to
switch on an alarm
MATERIAls REQUIRed –
Electric buzzer LDR(Light Dependent Resistance)

Breadboard 10k ohm Resistor


9V Battery laser

Connecting Wires Transistor


CIRCuit DIAGRAM -
PRACTICAL CIRCUIT -
PROCEDURE –
1. Take the breadboard and mark its two extreme sides , any
one as positive and other as negative.

2. Use the circuit diagram and makethe connections as follows.

3. Punch in the transistor on the breadboard.

4. Connect the emitter of the transistor with negative side of


breadboard using a wire.

5. Connect the LDR with base of transistor andnegative side of


breadboard.

6.Connect the buzzer with collector of transistor and positive


side of breadboard.

7. Now connect the 10k ohm resistor with base of transistor


and positive side of bread board.

8. Now connect the battery and at this time the buzzer would
be ringing.

9. Now drop the laser light upon the receptive surface of the
LDR and the buzzer stops ringing.
PREcAutions –

Cheap laser pointers that we find in


most stores are generally restricted to 5MW
or less. These are generally considered safe.
However, it is still possible to damage your
eyes if you are not careful. When working
with lasers, it is a good idea to wear the
appropriate eye protection. Avoid looking
directly at the laser diode. Also never point
lasers at aircraft.
