Claim 7:
8. The AIMD according to claim 7, further comprising a power transfer unit for transferring power from the encapsulation unit (50) to the tissue coupling unit (60), the power transfer unit comprising,
one or more power photovoltaic cells (61p) coupled to the electrical circuit (62) of the tissue coupling unit,
a power light source (53Lp), coupled to the implanted controller (54) enclosed in the encapsulation unit, and
a power optical fibre (41p) different from the stimulation optical fibre (41s) and different from the one or two communication optical fibres (41c, 41c1, 41c2), the power optical fibre (41p) comprising a proximal end coupled to the encapsulation unit in optical communication with the power light source (53Lp) enclosed in the encapsulation unit, and a distal end coupled to the tissue coupling unit in optical communication with the one or more power photovoltaic cells (61p) of the tissue coupling unit, for energizing the electrical circuit (62).
