Hi Demon, I just talked to the guy who made the tests.
He says that in his last try he removed the PES windows on both tx and rx, so there are just the diodes embedded in the polymer and the air gap between.
Hi, we've got a device with an optical transmission line made as follows:
1) an infrared transmission device containing a led surrounded by either Dow Corning Sylgard or Araldite D and a 0.4mm thick PES disk as "external window"
2) a 0.5mm free air path
3) a receiver with the same architecture...
