ABSTRACT:
An optical connection means is provided for connecting an optical docking station to an information handling system and to one or more peripheral devices. The optical connection means comprises two components that are not mechanically attached. The two components are a laptop component that is housed within the information handling system and within the one or more peripheral devices, and a docking station component housed within the optical docking station. The components send and receive information optically (i.e., in the form of light) to each other.
