    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for gimballess quasi-omni optical communication transceivers. A system may include a support structure having a surface and a set of optical transmitters perforating the surface. Additionally, the system may include an optical receiver, where the optical receiver includes a luminescence wavelength-converting fiber disposed on the surface of the support structure and a detector coupled with at least one end of the luminescence wavelength-converting fiber. In some examples the luminescence wavelength¬ converting fiber may be wrapped at least partially around the support structure and may be located between at least two pairs of the set of optical transmitters. The luminescence wavelength-converting fiber may be configured to absorb light at a first wavelength and emit light within a channel of the luminescence wavelength-converting fiber at a second wavelength and the detector may be configured to convert the light at the second wavelength to an electrical signal.
