Abstract

A data transfer system for the optical transmission of data using an optical waveguide. The emitter and/or the receiver is adapted to be displaced along the optical waveguide or positioned at different sites. The optical data transfer system allows light to be coupled or decoupled by scattering centers at optional positions.
