ABSTRACT:
This is an optical interconnect system. The system comprises: at least one signal transmitter; at least two signal receivers; at least one DMD in the same plane as the signal transmitter; and a hologram, whereby the phase of the original beam from the signal transmitter may be programmably changed, by a DMD, such that the beams received at the signal receiver may cancel or reinforce. Other methods and devices are disclosed.
