Build Your Own 10Mbit/sec Optical Data Link

It uses fairly cheap components, such as standard LED's instead of laser diodes. This also makes it a lot safer to work with, i.e. you won't burn your eyes out if you accidently look into it."

    Excellent link, great article.

    Now where's my soldering gun?
