ABSTRACT:
What is described here is a method of or a device for transferring optical signals. An optical conductor including a light-conducting core, which has at least two parallel interfaces provided with coatings that result in a reflection of the light guided in the light-conducting core, comprises at least one means for coupling the emitter or the receiver, respectively, by diffraction, refraction or diffusion.
