Abstract
A light data communication link device () for use in a magnetic resonance examination system () comprises a first light emitter and receiver unit () and a second light emitter and receiver unit (). A light generating member (), a first optical waveguide () and a light diffuser () of the first light emitter and receiver unit (), a distance in space between the light diffuser () and a converging lens () of the second light emitter and receiver unit (), and the converging lens (), a second optical waveguide () and a light receiving member () of the second light emitter and receiver unit () form a first optical pathway () for data communication. A light generating member (), a first optical waveguide () and a light diffuser () of the second light emitter and receiver unit (), a distance in space between the light diffuser () and a converging lens () of the first light emitter and receiver unit (), and a converging lens (), a second optical waveguide () and a light receiving member () of the first light emitter and receiver unit () form a second optical pathway () for data communication. At least the light generating member () of the first light emitter and receiver unit () is configured to be arranged outside a volume defined by the scanning unit (). The second light emitter and receiver unit () is configured to be at least partially arranged inside the volume (); and a magnetic resonance examination system () comprising such light data communication link device () for establishing a bi-directional data communication link between a control unit () of the magnetic resonance examination system () and at least one auxiliary electronic device () being arranged inside the volume ().
