Abstract

A device for optically interconnecting a plurality of devices. The disclosed optical interconnecting device includes a plurality of optical ports (403, 405, 407) bidirectionally coupled to each other. In one embodiment, these optical elements include one or more beamsplitters (413, 415, 417) and reflectors (419, 421, 423). Each of the optical ports of the presently described optical interconnection device is configured to be optically coupled to another device, such as for example an integrated circuit chip, computer system or the like, through an optical link (427, 433, 439), for example through optical fibers. In one embodiment, the optical ports accommodate a plurality of N optical beams providing an N-bit wide multi-load optical bus.
