The light propagates to the receiving device of the other party by reflection of light from walls, floors, etc. However, when communicating from a closed space completely covered on all sides by ceilings, walls, etc., to another closed space, light, which is the transmission medium, does not propagate from one closed space to another. It has the disadvantage of not being able to communicate. Conventionally, optical fibers have been used as this measuring means. However, devices using optical fibers have the disadvantage that the transmitter/receiver is fixed in position and cannot be carried around at all times.
