Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Datenübertragungssystem zur optischen Übertragung von Daten mittels eines Lichtwellenleiters, wobei Sender und/oder Empfänger entlang dieses Lichtwellenleiters bewegt oder unterschiedlich positioniert werden können. Das optische Datenübertragungssystem zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß an beliebigen Positionen Licht mittels Streuzentren ein- bzw. ausgekoppelt werden kann.
