Industrial Fiber Optics' CT Series of lasers are the most popular line of lasers used in middle and high schools in the United States. Designed for education, and featuring a bright blue transparent enclosure, their attractive looks invite students to participate and explore in optical and laser technology while seeing the laser's internal "working" components. With a complete set of features and long warranty, it is a product that is hard to surpass.

The IF HN08M is a unique laser created for the educational market. It has all the standard features and capabilities of a typical Class II helium-neon laser, but it also includes additional electronic circuits for demonstrating voice/audio (data) transmission over the laser beam. (When used a suitable receiver to "decode" the light beam into an audio signal.) Audio signal can be either from any dynamic microphone or any audio device. See operators manual for information on microphone, electrical connections and set-up instructions. A great multi-function laser for doing basic laser, optical and data transmission demonstrations.

The CT Series lasers were designed for use in education. They are not an engineering product or design being sold for educational purposes. From the initial concept everything about the attractive, safe design was to interest students in technology. It includes safety features such as 110 VAC to low voltage power adapters, tamper-resistant screws, impact resistant acrylic enclosure, easily locatable bright red laser shutter, bright and very durable nickel-plated laser aperture, industry standard electrical connections and tripod mount.
