ABSTRACT:
A method for optically switching a signal in a two-way communication system using only one satellite includes the steps of receiving a first set of N beams, forming a first set of N optical channels from respective ones of the N beams, spreading each of the N optical channels in one dimension to irradiate a first N.times.M array, switching a signal existing at one position of the first N.times.M array to any position of a second N.times.M array, unspreading the signals from the second N.times.M array to form a second set of N optical channels, forming a second set of N beams from the second set of N optical channels; and thereafter transmitting the second set of N beams which service M customers simultaneously.
