Zusammenfassung:Apparatus for reconfigurably interconnecting an optical input array P1 and an optical output array P6 includes reprogrammable optical storage means P2 and pattern generating means P3, P4 and 12 for sequentially generating in the optical storage means P2 a plurality of patterns together making up a composite pattern defining a desired optical interconnect configuration between said input and said output array. The storage means P2 may be holographic and the pattern generating means may include an acousto-optical or holographic deflector P3.
