Abstract: An insulation device arranged to be fixed on an electrical board of an optical wireless communication equipment, and including an enclosure having a height at least equal to a height of an optical assembly including an optical concentrator, the enclosure including in its thickness an opaque material, the insulation device including at least one housing, the insulation device being arranged such that, when the insulation device and the optical assembly are mounted on the electrical board, the enclosure surrounds the receiving surface so as to insulate the optical assembly from unwanted optical signals, and the optical concentrator is positioned in the housing so that the housing assists in holding the optical concentrator in position in the optical wireless communication equipment.

Abstract: An optical wireless communication device includes a processing component which is configured to produce transmitted digital signals during transmission periods; a light source which is configured to produce transmitted light signals from transmitted analog signals; a shutdown circuit which is configured to selectively activate or deactivate the light source; the processing component including a binary output to which it applies a binary control signal which is in a first state during the transmission periods and in a second state outside the transmission periods, the shutdown circuit being configured to activate the light source when the binary control signal is in the first state and to deactivate the light source when the binary control signal is in the second state.
