Claim 12:
13. A method for transcutaneous optical communication, the method comprising:
at an implantable optical transmitter device:
at one or more of plural light emitting sources, generating a light beam in response to a corresponding one or more modulation signals, each light beam contributing to form a single optical signal; and
directing the light beams to exit the implantable optical transmitter device distributed in a pattern in which a peak position of light intensity of each light beam is separated from a corresponding peak position of light intensity of an adjacent light beam by at least a first distance and less than a second distance, wherein the implantable optical transmitter device is configured to be embedded within biological tissue and the first distance and the second distance are based on characteristics of the biological tissue.
