ABSTRACT:
A fiber-optic switchboard is developed consisting of a plurality of n input fibers, n input lenses, n light deflecting elements, n relay lenses, a multifaceted reflector, m output lenses, and m output fibers. Each input lens causes an image of the end of the corresponding input fiber to fall on its deflecting element, while each relay lens causes an image of the corresponding deflector element to fall on the proper facet of the multifaceted reflector. Each output lens causes an image of the multifaceted reflector to fall on the face of the corresponding output fiber. The output lenses are placed such that each deflecting element is capable of directing light through any output lens and into the corresponding output fiber.
