Abstract
An arrangement for the noninvasive coupling of information from a plurality of devices, including sensors, to an optical fiber at different locations uses a photodetector and a fiber bender attached to each device in such a manner that the sequential transmission of trigger signals to the photodetector of each device causes the sequential coupling of the information to the optical fiber by the fiber bender.
