1. A multilayer film or skin for free space optical data transmission, comprising:

  • a first outer layer, which includes a first laterally extending area that transmits optical data signals received over a range of incident angles; and

    a second layer that includes a second laterally extending area which underlies the first layer in which at least a portion of the optical data signals received from the first outer layer is concentrated into a substantially reduced area, wherein the second layer only accepts optical data signals from a specific optical collection area that is defined in the second layer, the specific optical collection area being less than an entirety of the second layer; and

    an optical detector for receiving the concentrated optical data signals from the second layer; and

    an electrical connection extending from the optical detector to an external receiving device.
