  • Optoelectronic apparatus for transmitting digital and/or analog signals between galvanically separated circuits
    Patent number: 7956338
    Abstract: The apparatus includes: At least one light-emitting, optoelectronic, functional element, which, during operation, activated by an electrical signal, emits light, at least at times; at least one light-sensitive, optoelectronic, functional element, which, during operation, activated by light falling thereon, delivers, at least at times, an electrical signal; and at least a third, light-conducting, functional element composed at least partially of transmissive material, especially translucent plastic or glass. The third functional element conveys, during operation, light coupled thereinto, and has at least one essentially planar boundary surface, which deflects light conveyed in the apparatus.
    Type: Grant
