A data transmission system includes a sensor attached to an aircraft exterior and configured to generate sensor data. An external housing is attached to an exterior portion of an aircraft window. The external housing includes a digital-to-optical convertor configured to convert the sensor data into optical signals. The external housing also includes a transmitting optical device configured to transmit the optical signals through the aircraft window. An internal housing is attached to an interior portion of the aircraft window. The internal housing includes an optical receiver configured to receive the optical signals transmitted through the aircraft window. The internal housing also includes an optical-to-digital convertor configured to convert the optical signals received from the optical receiver into second sensor data. The second sensor data is representative of the detected condition. A data acquisition system internal to the aircraft is configured to receive the second sensor data.
