An opto-electronic combiner (32) for converting a plurality of discrete optical signals into a combined electrical signal. The ends of a bundle of optical fibres (42a) are arranged such that discrete optical signals emitted therefrom are incident upon discrete areas of a photosensitive surface of a single photodetector (40). The optical signals are converted to electrical signals by the photodetector (40), and an electrical signal comprising a combination of the individual optical signals is available at the electrical output of the photodetector (40). |
