Abstract
A medical device includes a shaft having a distal end and a proximal end, an image sensor at the distal end of the shaft, a distal conversion device at the distal end and in communication with the image sensor, a proximal photoreceiver, and an optical fiber extending between the distal conversion device and the proximal photoreceiver. The image sensor is configured to generate a first electrical signal based on a capture of one or more images, and the first electrical signal includes image or video data associated with the capture. The distal conversion device is configured to convert the first electrical signal to a light signal. The optical fiber is configured to facilitate transmission of the light signal between the distal conversion device and the proximal photoreceiver, and the proximal photoreceiver is configured to convert the light signal to a second electrical signal.
