FIELD: optical engineering. ^ SUBSTANCE: according to versions of connector, it has KxM sources and KxN receivers of optical signals. One group of KxMxN optical switches is mounted between sources and receivers. Light splitter of image of all the sources is mounted between sources and switches, which light splitter has N group light-guiding elements. According to the first version, adder is mounted between switches and receivers. Addre has light-splitter with M group light-guiding elements and masks with KxN holes in front of receivers. According to the second version, raster of K/N image adders of M group of switches is mounted between switches and receivers combined in groups of R members. Optical commutation system has commutation cascades. The cascades have to optical connectors described before. Cascades composed of light-splitter and masks are mounted among several internal connectors and at output of the last connector. ^ EFFECT: improved capacity of optical connector; reduced light losses; reduced sizes. ^ 11 cl, 10 tbl, 3 dwg |
