Description

is the optical fibre system where digital information is transmitted through glass fibres with the means of a light source at the transmitting end of the fibre and a optical sensor at the receiving end of the fibre. Another type of optical transceiver is the laser communication system where a light sauce consists of a laser at the transmitting side, this laser is aimed at a optical photo sensor at the receiving side. Information is transferred through this means. Another form of optical transceiver is a wide angle light based signal carrier. This type of system consists of a light sauce where the emitted light is spread out over a wide angle. A receiving optical photo sensor can be placed anywhere within the aria covered by the angle of the transmitter. Typically this system is utilised for IR headphones and IR remotes. Description. This innovation relates to advances in optical communication methods and increases bandwidth and speed of communication by adding more channels that can be transmitted through a transfer medium such as optical fibre and / or a vacuum, air, water or any material that light can pass through. The innovation achieves this by utilising the frequently properties of light to carry channels of communication for given frequencies of light. A more advanced method utilises the polarizing property of light along with the frequency properties of light to increase the number of channels by adding channels for given angles of polarization of light. The invention incorporates a transmitting unit and receiving unit. The transmitting unit outputs a stream of light, this stream of light can be focused into and transferred through an optical fibre. In another form of invention the transmitting unit can be focused to output a wide angle of light that can be transmitted through a vacuum, air, water or any substance that light can pass through. In another form of invention the transmitting unit can be focused to output as a laser beam by utilising laser light sources, this laser beam can be transmitted through a vacuum, air, water or any substance that light can pass through. The invention incorporates a receiving unit that inputs a stream of light from an optical fibre. In another form of the invention the receiving unit inputs a stream of light that is transmitted through a vacuum, air, water or any substance that light can pass through. A transmitting unit and a receiving unit can be placed at both ends of an optical fibre for full duplex two-way communication on a single fibre. Likewise for the laser beam and wide-angle versions of the invention. See figures 3A, 3B, 3C, 4A, 4B, 4C & 4D. TRANSMITTING UNIT. The transmitting unit of the innovation consists of a plurality of light sources that each emit light of different frequency or colour, for example red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, ultraviolet and infrared. Other frequencies or colours are deemed to be within the scope of this invention, these 2025223936   01 Sep 2025 light sources can be any device or devices that can emit light. However light emitting diodes LED’s are the most practical devices and can be arranged in a number of ways to achieve a light stream. The LED’s can be incorporated on a single silicon chip so as to enable them to be arranged close together so they can be focused to a single light stream with less complexity. The LED’s can also be arranged so they are spaced apart to dissipate heat and the emitted light is focused to single light stream with a lens and or mirror and or prism. The use of a prism in the transmitter allows the focusing of more narrow frequency bands of light. The position where the prism is placed in respect the light sources and the lens determines the colour and frequency of each channel of light emitted from the prism and focused through the lens. This allows a grater number of channels. For the laser version of the invention the light sources are laser LED’s and can be other types of laser light sources. See figures 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 5A, 5B, 5C & 5D. RECEIVING UNIT. The receiving unit of the innovation consists of a plurality of light sensors that each detect light of different frequency or colour, for example red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, ultraviolet and infrared. Other frequencies or colours are deemed to be within the scope of this invention, these light sensors can be any device or devices that can detect light. However photodiodes and or phototransistors are the most practical devices and can be arranged in a number of ways to achieve light frequency sensing. The light sensors can be incorporated on a single silicon chip or can be arranged so they are spaced apart individually. If the light sensors are frequency bandwidth or light colour sensitive and only respond to respective frequencies or colours, there is no need to incorporate a prism or filters to split the light beam into respective frequencies or colours to detect separate channels. However if the light sensors are wide band light sensitive and respond to a number of light frequencies or colours then a prism or colour filters will be necessary to spit the light beam into respective frequencies or colours to detect respective communication channels. However a prism can also be utilized to focus and direct light to respective light sensors. See figures 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 5A, 5B, 5C & 5D. In a more advanced form of the invention more channels are added by incorporating polarizing filters and more light sources in the transmitting unit and polarizing filter and more light sensors in the receiving unit. ADVANCED TRANSMITTING UNIT. The transmitting unit incorporates a plurality of light sources with a plurality vertical polarising light filters arranged so as the light emitted from each light source passes through a vertical polarising light filter, each light source is of a different colour thus creating streams of vertically polarised light of different colours. The transmitting unit also incorporates another plurality of light sources with a plurality horizontal polarising light filters arranged so as the light emitted from each light source passes through a horizontal polarising light filter, again each light source is of a different colour and thus creates streams of horizontally polarised light of different colours. These light streams are focused into a single stream of light. See figures 3A, 3B, 3C, 4A, 4B, 4C & 4D. A plurality of light sources may also be arranged so as to pass their emitted light through a single vertical filter. Along with another plurality of light sources arranged so as to pass their emitted light 2025223936   01 Sep 2025 through a single horizontal filter. These light streams are focused into a single stream of light. Light sauces that emit polarised light without the need for filter is deemed to be within the scope of this innovation as well. A typical configuration would produce a stream of red vertically polarised light, a stream off orange vertically polarised light, a stream off yellow vertically polarised light, a stream off green vertically polarised light, a stream blue vertically polarised light, a stream off a violet vertically polarised light, a stream of infrared vertically polarised light and a stream of ultraviolet vertically polarised light.

The receiving unit incorporates a plurality of light sensors with a plurality vertical polarising light filters arranged so as the incoming light passes through the polarising light filters. The receiving unit also incorporates a plurality of light sensors with a plurality horizontal polarising light filters arranged so as the incoming light passes through the polarising light filters. Each light sensor reacts to and senses a different colour and polarisation of light thus respective channels of communication are detected for each colour and polarisation of light. In another configuration of the receiving unit, the receiving unit includes just one vertical polarising filter arranged to pass light to a plurality of light sensor and just one horizontal polarising filter arranged to past light to a plurality of light sensors. This configuration is deemed to within the scope of innovation as well. As in the above the receiving unit, if light sensors are narrowband light frequency or colour sensitive, there is no need to incorporate coloured light filters or a prism to separate light beam into different light colours. However if light sensors are wide band sensitive and sensitive to all light colours then coloured light filters or a prism is necessary to separate the light into their respective light colour frequency channels. See figure 2A. One typical configuration of the advanced receiving unit would include a vertical polarising filter arranged for light to pass through onto a red light sensor, a vertical polarising filter arranged for light to pass through onto a orange, a vertical polarising filter arranged for light to pass through onto a yellow light sensor, a vertical polarising filter arranged for light to pass through onto a green light sensor, vertical polarising filter arranged for light to pass through onto a blue light sensor, a vertical polarising filter arranged for light to pass through onto a violet light sensor, a vertical polarising filter arranged for light to pass through onto a vertical polarising filter arranged for light to pass through onto a infrared light sensor, vertical polarising filter arranged for light to pass through onto a ultraviolet light sensor.

From this configuration respective channels of communication that are received are as follows, vertical polarised red, vertical polarised orange, vertical polarised yellow, vertical polarised green, vertical polarised blue, vertical polarised violet, vertical polarised infrared, vertical poll arise to ultraviolet, Horizontal polarised red, horizontal polarised orange, horizontal polarised yellow, horizontal polarised green, horizontal polarised blue, horizontal polarised violet, horizontal polarised infrared, horizontal polarised ultraviolet. See Figure 2A. Another configurations of the advanced receiving unit would include a vertical polarising filter and a red filter arranged for light to pass through the filters onto a light sensor, a vertical polarising filter and a orange filter arranged for light to pass through the filters onto a light sensor, a vertical polarising filter and a yellow filter arranged for light to pass through the filters onto a light sensor, a vertical polarising filter and a green filter arranged for light to pass through the filters onto a light sensor, a vertical polarising filter and a blue filter arranged for light to pass through the filters onto a light sensor, a vertical polarising filter and a violet filter arranged for light to pass through the filters onto a light sensor, a vertical polarising filter and a infrared filter arranged for light to pass through the filters onto a light sensor, a vertical polarising filter and a ultraviolet filter arranged for light to pass through the filters onto a light sensor. A horizontal polarising filter and a red filter arranged for light to pass through the filters onto a light sensor, a horizontal polarising filter and a orange filter arranged for light to pass through the filters onto a light sensor, a horizontal polarising filter and a yellow filter arranged for light to pass through the filters onto a light sensor, a horizontal polarising filter and a green filter arranged for light to pass through the filters onto a light sensor, a horizontal polarising filter and a blue filter arranged for light to pass through the filters onto a light sensor, a horizontal polarising filter and a violet filter arranged for light to pass through the filters onto a light sensor, a horizontal polarising filter and a infrared filter arranged for light to pass through the filters onto a light sensor, a horizontal polarising filter and a ultraviolet filter arranged for light to pass through the filters onto a light sensor. See figures 2C. Note that a coloured filter and a polarising filter may be included in a single filter that polarises and filters colour simultaneously, for example a red vertical polarising filter, a red horizontal polarising filter, a green vertical polarising filter, a green horizontal polarising filter, a blue vertical polarising filter, a blue horizontal polarising filter, a vertical infrared polarising filter, a horizontal infrared polarising filter, a vertical ultraviolet polarising filter, a horizontal ultraviolet polarising filter, the use of these types of filters is deemed to be within the scope of this invention. Another configurations of the advanced receiving unit would incorporate a prism that splits the incoming light into separate colours. Vertical polarising filters and horizontal polarizing filters are arranged and placed at points in the separated light streams that are respective to the utilized colours so as each utilized light colour passes through a vertical polarizing light filter onto a light sensor and each utilized light colour passes through a horizontal polarizing light filter onto a light sensor. See figures 2D, 3B, & 4A. Note that the use of more than one prism is within the scope of this invention. 2025223936   01 Sep 2025 Note that the use of light sensors that are sensitive to polarization of light and colour frequency of light is within the scope of this invention. Note that the shape of the lenses and / or mirrors incorporated in both the transmitter and receiver are not restricted and can be convex, concaved, cone shaped, funnel shaped or of other shapes that can provide appropriate focusing and is within the scope of this invention. See figures 4B, 4C & 4D. The use of more than one prism including a separate prism associated with each light source and a separate prism associated with each light sensor allows for finer adjustment of each device and the placement of each device can be more compact and arranged in a more versatile and convenient manner. As there is a prism for each light source the placement of each light source is not dependent on a single prism and the light sources can be placed in much more versatile way, for example in a circle in front of the lens or circles inside a circle in front of the lens or a spiral in front of the lens. The same is true for the light sensors. As there is a prism for each light sensors the placement of each light sensors is not dependent on a single prism and the light sensors can be placed in much more versatile way, for example in a circle behind the lens or circles inside a circle behind the lens or a spiral behind the lens. To allow each prism to filter and focus each required frequency and colour of light more efficiently slotted masks can be placed over each prism to prevent the unwanted frequencies and colours of light from passing through. See figures 1E, 2E, 4C, 4D, & 5D. For the transmitter each mask has a slot that is placed in a position that along with a respective prism only allows a respective colour and frequency of light to pars from a respective light source. See figures 1E, 2E, 4C, 4D, & 5D. For the receiver each mask has a slot that is placed in a position that along with a respective prism only allows a respective colour and frequency of light to pars to a respective light sensor. See figures 1E, 2E, 4C, 4D, & 5D. In another form of optical transceiver the different colours and frequencies of light are derived from utilizing diffraction gratings. These gratings consist of a substrate with a high number of etched parallel angled grooves coated with a highly reflective material. These gratings may consist of strait ruled gratings or concave holographic gratings. Mirrors and / or lenses may be used to focus respective light frequencies. See figures 5A & 5B. The transmitter unit consists of a number of light sources that are respective to a number of data channels and light frequency colour. Light emitted from each light sources is passed through a slotted mask and is focused on to a diffraction grating, the angels at witch the light intercepts the diffraction grating determines the respective light frequency colour that is reflected from the diffraction grating to a focal point. Each light sources is positioned so as a respective light frequency colour is reflected and focused to the focal point. At this focal point a slotted mask is situated, this mask rejects unwanted frequencies of light. The light that passes through this mask is focused to an optical fibre or laser output. See figures 5A & 5B. 2025223936   01 Sep 2025 In the receiver unit light emitted from an optical fibre or laser is focused through a slotted mask on to a diffraction grating. This diffraction grating is placed on an angle so as to split the light into respective light frequencies and colours, each respective light frequency is reflected off of the diffraction grating on a different angle. A number of light sensors are positioned to collect respective light frequencies that are respective to data channels. See figures 5A & 5B. Note that a single diffraction grating or single prism can be utilized to be sheared between a number of optical fibres and number of sets of light sources and / or a number of optical sensors in both the receiving unit and transmitting unit and is deemed to be within the scope of this invention.
