Claim 6:
7. The kit-of-parts according to claim 1, further comprising a set of micro-optical elements, wherein the optical communication lead (104) comprises at least two optical fibres (104f), and wherein each of the at least two optical fibres comprise:
a proximal end inserted in a proximal interface device (105p) which is coupled to the external communication unit (102) such that the optical fibres are optimally aligned with the external communication photodetector (20Pe) and external source of communication light (20Le) of the external communication unit (102); and
a distal end inserted in a distal interface device (105d), wherein for aligning the distal ends of the optical fibres (1040 with the implantable source of communication light (20Li) and the implantable communication photodetector (20Li), the distal interface device (105d) comprises a number, N>2, of centring photodetectors (105pd) forming a polygon of N edges, configured for receiving and detecting an intensity of a light beam emitted by the implantable source of communication light (20Li) when the distal interface device (105d) is laid on a skin (50) of the patient (51) over an approximate position of the encapsulation unit (5) with the N centring photodetectors (105pd) facing towards the skin; and, wherein the set of micro-optical elements comprises one or more of lenses, collimators, diffusors, polarizers, or filters, which are configured for reshaping a beam of light propagating in both directions from or towards the proximal end and distal end of each of the at least two optical fibres.
