ABSTRACT:
A modular building block for supporting arrays of microlenses, microlasers and microphotodetectors, etc. in an optical beam relay system used as an optical interconnection network. The building block includes a frame member on which is mounted the array. The frame member includes a base portion that is press fitted to the smooth top surface of a plate member. The bottom surface of the plate member includes a rail portion that is secured into a groove in the support structure, such as a table, that also supports various elements of the optical interconnection network.
