Optical "Slip ring"

Any suggestions for construction of an electro-optical "slip ring"? I'm thinking of some kind of "ring o'light" and a single pickup thatwould allow 360° rotation of the light ring without loss ofcommunication with the PIN PD pickup. Probably a foot (30cm_ or morein diameter. Want to minimize both the power consumption and thevariation in light intensity. Reasonably high data rates (10+MHz).
