High Speed Communication
First Claim
1. For use in establishing a communication link between a first location and a second location, said first location having an electrical driver circuit that receives input data to be communicated, and said second location having an electrical receiver circuit for producing output data representative of said input data;
- a method comprising the steps of;
providing a tilted charge light emitting device at said first location and coupled with said driver circuit such that the light produced by said tilted charge light-emitting device is a function of said input data;
providing an optical fiber between said first and second locations;
coupling light from said tilted charge light emitting device into said optical fiber;
providing, at said second location, a photodetector coupled with said optical fiber and with said receiver circuit;
whereby electrical signals representative of said input data are output from said receiver circuit.

Abstract
The disclosure has application for use in establishing a communication link between a first location and a second location, the first location having an electrical driver circuit that receives input data to be communicated, and the second location having an electrical receiver circuit for producing output data representative of the input data. The method includes the following steps: providing a tilted charge light emitting device at the first location and coupled with the driver circuit such that the light produced by the tilted charge light-emitting device is a function of the input data; providing an optical fiber between the first and second locations; coupling light from the tilted charge light emitting device into the optical fiber; and providing, at the second location, a photodetector coupled with the optical fiber and with the receiver circuit; whereby electrical signals representative of the input data are output from the receiver circuit.
