'''Open ~~Source Optics~~''' refers to [[optics]] / [[opto-electronics]] / [[fiber optic]] designs that is designed in the same fashion as [[free and open source software]] (FOSS). Open source optics is part of the [[open source culture]] that takes the open source ideas to fields other than software.

The term has primarily been used to reflect the free release of [[information]] about the optical design, such as construction or integration of the active and passive optical components in order to make a complete ~~Optical~~ system. The designs sometimes include hardware and software which would typically be a [[open source hardware]] and [[~~Open~~ source software]]resspectively.

* ~~Fiber Optics Test bench~~ - ~~Open~~ source [[Wavelength Division Multiplexing]] (WDM) link ~~with~~ Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifer ([[EDFA]]) and [[Optical Add Drop Multiplexer]] ~~(OADM~~) ~~- The design includes most of the passive and active optical components, analog front-end amplifiers that are required to understand the principles of basic fiber optic communication.~~

* '''Open source fiber optics communication testbench''' - It is an open source optics project aimed at developing a complete testbench to understand the principles of fiber optic communication. The design includes almost all passive and active optical components, analog front-end amplifiers, digitally controlled lasers etc., that are required to perform [[Wavelength Division Multiplexing]] (WDM) link experiments including Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifer ([[EDFA]]) and Optical Add Drop Multiplexer ([[OADM]])
