Claim Text:
1. For use in establishing a communication link between a first location and a second location, said first location having an electrical driver circuit that receives input data to be communicated, and said second location having an electrical receiver circuit for producing output data representative of said input data; a method comprising the steps of: providing a tilted charge light emitting device selected from the group consisting of a tilted charge light emitting diode and a tilted charge diode laser at said first location and coupled with said driver circuit such that the light produced by said tilted charge light emitting device is a function of said input data; providing an optical fiber said first and second locations; coupling light from said tilted charge light emitting device into said optical fiber; providing at said second location, a photodetector coupled with said optical fiber and with said receiver circuit; whereby electrical signals representative of said input data are output from said receiver circuit.
