THE PROBLEMS: RATIONALE AND
THE APPLICATION OF OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER IN THE DESIGN OF A LASER ALARM SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
Everywhere, especially in third world countries such as the Philippines, theft
contributes to one of the major crimes. One of the most dangerous forms of theft is
theft at home since you are not only endangered of losing valuable things but one
family’s life as well. The need for the installation then security alarms arises from the
basic concern of individuals living in such a hectic world – safety.
One form of such security system is the LASER security alarm. In essence, this security
system depends on the LASER beam being disrupted by a movement to trigger an alarm
– hence the name. Currently, there are already commercially available LASER security
systems but as mentioned in the previous paragraph, the affordability is limited. This
calls for the need of a relatively cheap but effective LASER security alarm system.
Such a security alarm system can be devised using an operational amplifier based LASER
security system. In order to create effective alarm systems, we need to have knowledge
in field of electronics. Developers need to adapt the modernization of technology. They
are simple to install and can be used effectively inside or outside a home. The systems
can be used as a highly effective perimeter alarm for property boundaries.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

THE APPLICATION OF OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER IN THE DESIGN OF A LASER ALARM SYSTEM
This project is conducted to respond to the following problems
1.) Design an effective gadget with the use of the idea regarding the operational
amplifier.
2.) Produce an affordable Laser Security Alarm System that would be cheap yet useful
for every household.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This study is done by the researchers to come up with a process of creating a laser alarm
that is very useful to everyone, by using their knowledge about operational amplifier.
It also aims to make the process simple and the materials needed are affordable such
that the installation can be also done in houses without the help of the professional ones. Thus
targeting to provide extra protection most especially to the middle to low range income
families. Home security systems divert burglars who want to break in without complications.
This project would be a great help to those persons living in a crime prone area.
SCOPE AND DELIMITATIONS
This project is limited only for alarming the owner of a house or establishment if there is
a suspicious person roaming around and not more than that.
This is a movement dependent device. It is not concerned with the recognition of what
is the cause of the alarming.

GENERAL AND SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
It is the main objective of this project to construct an effective and low-cost device with
the use of an operational amplifier as one of its components.
Specifically, this project is conducted to help those who are financial incapable of buying
commercial security systems. Moreover, this project aims to inspire other students or
individuals who are fond of learning electronics.

The operational amplifier got its name from the fact that it can be configured to
perform many different mathematical operations. Depending on its feedback circuit and
biasing, an op amp can be made to add, subtract, multiply, divide, negate, and,
interestingly, even perform calculus operations such as differentiation and integration. Of
course, aside from these operations, op amps are also found in a very large number of
applications. In fact, many consider the op amp as the foundation of many analogue
semiconductor products today.
An op amp has two inputs, one non inverting and one inverting, and one output.
When a signal goes into the non inverting input, the output is in phase with it; when a signal
goes into the inverting input, the output is 180 degrees out of phase with it. An op amp has
two power supply connections, one for the emitters of the transistors (Vee) and one for the
collectors (Vcc).
Because of the very high resistance exhibited by the inputs of an op amp, the
currents flowing through them are very small. The current flowing in or out of an op
amp's input pin, known as input bias current, is basically just leakage current at the base
or gate of the input transistor of that input, which is why it is very small. When solving
voltage/current equations for op amp circuits, the input currents are usually assumed to
be zero. For most of the commonly-used op-amp circuits, this means that the total output
current of the op amp is flowing through the feedback circuit between the output and the

inverting input (the feedback is usually connected to the inverting input for operation
stability).
The integrator is an operational amplifier circuit that performs the mathematical
operation of Integration that is we can cause the output to respond to changes in the input
voltage over time. The integrator amplifier acts like a storage element that "produces a voltage
output which is proportional to the integral of its input voltage with respect to time". In other
words the magnitude of the output signal is determined by the length of time a voltage is
present at its input as the current through the feedback loop charges or discharges the
capacitor as the required negative feedback occurs through the capacitor.
LASER is an acronym for “Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation”
and a laser security system is a security system which use laser beam as a detector for
movements and to switch on security alarm.
Leveraging on the properties of the operational amplifiers (i.e. comparator capability)
one such LASER security system can be devised using these.

RESEARCH DESIGN
In order for the researchers to build the project they used LM741 of operational
amplifiers. This operational amplifier is used as comparator not an amplifier. A ‘comparator’ is a
circuit that compares two input voltages. One voltage is called the reference voltage (Vref) and the
other is called the input voltage (Vin). A simple schematic diagram of the laser alarm system is
illustrated below:

This chapter would present the information that we have gathered on the experiment that we have performed to test the effectiveness of the device.
The picture above represents the testing of the device, the proponent test if the LDR react to the laser when it is in focus at this part of test the LDR stays at very low resistance so the output coming from the

471ic is low and the laser alarm is at waiting state.
Here the line has been broken and as the proponents expect the device goes loud and gave the warning sound that can call the attention of the person and as the laser returns to focus the device stays alarming until the reset button is pushed.
In here the proponents try to put a florescent lamp above of the device and the laser to test if it still works in case of day time, it is very important to test if ever the light from the environment affects the variation of resistance of LDR’s even when the Laser is at focus.

As the line broke still the device still alarm and goes loud and stop after the reset button was pushed. Using the Proteus 7.4 the proponent try to simulate the circuit to minimize the error that can be encounter along making the prototype and in here as the Light Bulb is nearly focus to the LDR using virtual ohmmeter it is true that LDR become almost zero resistance as the meter reads 0.007Mohms and the 741ic is at the low state and the voltage is passing trough pin 3 of 4017 decade counter.And as the Light goes out the resistance of the LDR dramatically increased and become 85.685Mohms enough resistance to make the voltage off to the pin 3 of 4017ic and output 1 bit to the 4017ic in pin 3 along with this the op-amp 741ic output becomes high and trigger the clock of the 4017ic in pin 14 witch make the decade counter count from 0-9 so even the laser returns in focus the device stays at high output because of the pulse given by the clock and as long as the reset is not been pushed the clock will stay running along with the noise alarm.

CHAPTER V SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
THE APPLICATION OF OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER IN THE DESIGN OF A LASER ALARM SYSTEM
SUMMARY
The ability of the operational amplifier to magnify voltage values and act as comparator is taken advantaged and used as a platform to create a not only effective but also inexpensive LASER security alarm. The purpose which is to have an alarm triggered when motion is detected or disrupts a set LASER beam is efficiently attained with the current design.
CONCLUSION
Based from the different test conducted, it can be concluded by the researchers that an operational amplifier can be used for designing a LASER Security System. It is effective...
It can also be concluded that the project done is of great difference to the commercial one when it comes to the price of the components used.
RECOMMENDATION
The researchers recommend those persons who will use the product to make sure that it will be installed in a secret place for it to be more effective. Another reason is to make sure that stray light and objects does not falsely trigger the alarm.
Upon using the device, it is recommended to activate the security alarm under the following events:
1. At night, before the rest of the family go to sleep. 2. When leaving the house and no one will be left to look for it.3. It is also recommended to use mirrors to maximize the use of the security system.
For future researches, it is recommended to look into the possibility how they can incorporate digital camera or much better motion video recorder with this security system but still remain a cost effective device.
