Abstract
Systems and methods for optical data communication in high temperatures and harsh environments are provided herein. The embodiments utilize a combination of a short wavelength light source combined with a wide bandgap detector in order to transmit optical signals. An optical data communication system may include a light source connected to a light detector via an optical fiber. The light source and the light detector may also be physically adjacent to any dielectric gap that can be spanned without having an optical fiber intermediary.
