摘要 |
Optical communication, switching and control apparatus and systems are disclosed, including modular electro-optical logic circuits, methods of construction and assembly of such modules and applications thereof. Optical transmission lines are interconnected by convenient connectors, and are assembled with switches, and optical signals, including visible light radiation, ultra-violet radiation and infra-red radiation are transmitted over the lines for carrying data and/or central signals. The optical transmission and control systems are used to control illumination, vehicle equipment, manufacturing and chemical processes, machinery, home appliances, and are used to monitor medical conditions in the human body. The electro-optical modules are assembled together with their respective light radiation transmitting windows or optical ports in communication one with another in computer equipment.
