Abstract
The present disclosure concerns the communication between electronic systems in an aircraft subassembly such as a propulsion unit. This communication is at least partially carried out by light signals transmitted through at least one interior volume of the sub-assembly, this interior volume defining an optical channel. To this end, at least one of these systems includes an emitter arranged to emit a light signal and modulate it depending on data to be transmitted generated by this system, and at least one other of these systems includes at least one receiver capable of receiving this light signal.
