Abstract
Various apparatuses, circuits, systems, and methods for optical communication are disclosed. In some implementations an optical communication device includes an optical data port configured to support an optical fiber in a fixed position. The optical communication device may further include a plurality of optical communication circuits, each oriented to communicate optical signals at a respective position of a cross section of the optical fiber connected to the optical data port and a control circuit, responsive to optical signals communicated on the optical fiber connected to the optical data port and configured to determine ones of the plurality of optical communication circuits that are misaligned with the optical fiber and disable the determined ones of the plurality of optical communication circuits.
