ABSTRACT:
Different components of a computer are interconnected by a free space optical mesh-connected bus network using wavelength division multiple access. The network includes optical elements, such as cylindrical lens or mirrors, to transform a spot of light emitted by a source into a stripe of light that illuminates a row or column of detectors, of which one is tuned to the wavelength of the light for selection. By a succession of such networks appropriately oriented, routing in different perpendicular directions through the network is achieved, whereby any two nodes in a two-dimensional array of nodes can be interconnected.
