Abstract

A fiber optic system characterised by a transmitter including at least one fiber optic line which has a distal end located at a focal point of a parabolic reflector, wherein emitted light from the distal end of the at least one fiber optic line is reflected from the parabolic mirror as a collimated beam along an axis of symmetry of the parabolic mirror, and a receiver including at least one receiving fiber optic line which has a distal end located at a focal point of a receiving parabolic reflector, wherein the collimated beam is focused onto the distal end of the receiving fiber optic line which is located at the focal point of the receiving parabolic mirror.
