Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An optically powered media conversion device for performing optical to electrical conversion is disclosed. The conversion device includes at least one optical coupler for receiving at least one optical signal comprising at least one wavelength, wherein the at least one optical coupler extracts energy from the at least one optical signal, and at least one detector for extracting data from the at least one optical signal and converting the optical signal to an electrical signal using a photovoltaic process. The conversion device further includes a transmitter for converting an electrical signal to an optical signal and transmitting the optical signal to a first device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of providing power to an optical conversion device, the method comprising: receiving from a first external device an optical signal at an optical interface of an electrical to optical conversion device, wherein the optical signal is delivered to the optical interface via a fiber optical cable and including at least one wavelength; splitting the optical signal into a first optical signal and a second optical signal; extracting energy from the fir…
