Abstract
A plurality of optical transceivers are disposed on a given curved plane confronting the mirror surface of a cylindrical mirror with their optical axes pointing toward said mirror surface. Information transmission paths for optical signals are defined between the mirror surface and the curved surface. An optical signal emitted from one of said plurality of optical transceivers is reflected by the mirror surface, and incident upon the remaining transceivers serving now as receivers.
Claims3
An optical information exchange system, comprising a cylindrical mirror and a plurality of optical transceivers disposed on a given curved plane confronting the mirror surface of said mirror with their optical axes pointing toward said mirror surface, an optical signal emitted from one of said plurality of optical transceivers being reflected by said mirror surface to fall incident upon the remaining transceivers serving as receivers.
