A neurostimulation lead (102) includes fiber optic cable (214). A human-implantable neurostimulator (100) and neurostimulation lead (102) each include an opto-electric transducer (212, 216). The opto-electric transducers (212, 216) can be an optical transmitter, an optical receiver, or an optical transducer, that converts: electrical energy to optical energy; optical energy to electrical energy; or both electrical energy to optical energy and optical energy to electrical energy. Neurostimulation-lead electrodes (222) can be activated, and/or lead-status information can be transmitted, over the fiber optic cable (214), between the neurostimulator (100) and the neurostimulation lead (102). A neurostimulation-lead power converter (224) may be coupled to a pulse generator (210) of the neurostimulator (100) such that he power converter (224) derives and stores power for the lead (102) from sitmulation pulses received from the stimulation-pulse generator (210). |
