Abstract :
A novel architecture for free-space optical interconnections is proposed. The architecture named LISA (lightwave interconnections employing spatial addressing) enables the construction of a high speed and large fanout 1*N switch. A 1*16 LISA switch is implemented and demonstrated at 200 Mbit/s.
