Optical Rotary Joint For Data Transfer
Abstract
Proposed joint increases bandwidth and reduces errors. Scheme for transferring digital data across rotary joint uses light instead of electrical signals. Optical joint offers greater bandwidth and operates at considerably lower error rate. Concept applied to transfer of highspeed data to rotating antennas or across joints of robots and manipulators in automated manufacturing.
