What modules should I pair with the Light Shield
These configurations use only two devices: One board, with one shield connected. For these, you can open the page for the shield or carrier (not the board) in Arduino Docs, and find compatible boards under the Compatibility tab. This guide documents compatibility of a variety of Adafruit shields against a number of mainstream Arduino boards. In this article, we will see a list of useful Arduino Shields, a special hardware that sits on top of Arduino and gives additional features to Arduino. If I am using the shield, is the above drawing optimal? Or should I do separate shielding for any signal as well? For ex - [UART tx and rx in a shiled] + [All remaining signals].

Common Light Source Devices in Fiber Optic Communication
Fiber-optic communication systems require a light source to generate the signal that the fiber transmits. Some inexpensive short-distance systems use LEDs that emit visible light, but most systems carry. The workhorse behind modern telecommunications is infrared light , specifically with wavelengths between 1310 nm and 1550 nm . The transmitter takes an electrical input and converts it to an optical output from a laser diode or LED.

Testing optical fibers using a light source and optical power meter
Power-Meter-and-Light-Source Testing is a method of testing the attenuation of Optical Fiber Cable. It involves the use of a light source, a power meter, and a single jumper to measure the end-to-end signal loss of the fiber. To use a power meter for fiber optic testing, always clean connectors first with lint-free wipes or click-to-clean tools. We'll give you the basic information you need and provide some printable references.
