Electron beam information exchange apparatus with converting light signals

An information exchange apparatus for effecting information exchange by converting incoming light signals into outgoing light signals, comprising:

• a plurality of electron beam generating means for generating electron beams in accordance with said incoming light signals;
• electron beam deflecting means for independently deflecting individual electron beams emitted from said electron beam generating means;
• and
• a plurality of electron beam detecting means for reproducing information from said electron beams to generate said outgoing light signals,
• in which said electron beam deflecting means controls said electron beams so that each of said electron beams is made incident upon a desired one of said electron beam detecting means, and
• in which said electron beam generating means and said electron beam detecting means are disposed so that two given ones of electron beam sources constituting said electron beam generating means and two given ones of electron beam detectors constituting said electron beam detecting means are not located in a same plane.
