Abstract
Apparatus for a self-powered optical transmitter system. One such system includes an inductor, a power converter, an optical driver, and an optical transducer. A magnet interacting with the inductor generates and EMF that is applied to the power converter, which provides power for the optical transducer. In various embodiments, the power converter includes a voltage multiplier, such as a semiconductor circuit or a transformer, and/or a Zener diode to limit the voltage applied to the optical transducer. The optical driver is either inherent in the power converter or a separate circuit such as one including a processor. The processor has at least one input and produces an output that modulates the optical transducer.
