<title>Optoelectronic multistage intrconnection network for 2D information images</title>

Abstract

An optoelectronic multistage compact interconnection network using polarizing beam splitters, polarizing switch arrays, lenslet array and free-space optics is proposed. It is capable of realizing a interconnection of a large number of data pattern images with the total data throughput up to 1 Pbit/s and a reconfiguration time up to 10 ns.
