Component for optical data transmission

摘要

An infrared transceiver for a directed bi-directional optical data transmission through the air has a single-part or multi-part housing in which a stack of components is mounted as follows: an emitter chip for transmitting IR beams, a detector chip for receiving IR beams, and an optical system with a lens and a reflector having an optical axis for focusing the transmitted and received beams. The reflector is arranged concentrically to the optical axis and relative to the components so that transmission power and reception sensitivity of the IR transceiver are increased.
