    摘要: A crossover network implemented using two-dimensional arrays of nodes. The network is a perfect shuffle equivalent network because it is topologically equivalent to a crossover network of one-dimensional arrays of nodes. The two-dimensional arrays are arranged in rows and columns and there are a plurality of link stages interconnecting successive arrays. The network is implemented efficiently in free space optics because the network topology requires optical crossovers in some link stages that interconnect only nodes in the same column of successive arrays and optical crossovers in the other link stages that interconnect only nodes in the same row of successive arrays.

    摘要: A crossover network is obtained by using a plurality of similar optical crossover stages. Each stage includes two light paths that combine at an output plane. One path provides the direct connection while the other path provides the crossover connection. To realize this crossover capability, each stage comprises a beam splitter element that accepts a beam containing an image array and develops therefrom two beams that are each directed in two different paths. Along one path, means are provided for reversal of selected segments of the image array and for sending of the reversed or crossed-over image through a beam combiner. Along the second path, means are provided for applying the light to a beam combiner without the image reversal. One disclosed means for image reversal is a prismatic mirror. The number of corners in such a mirror differs from stage to stage.
