An optical interconnect is formed from a series of coaxially aligned lenses. The lenses are spaced apart along a planar substrate (1) and form repeated images of an optical array (9) at the input to the interconnect. Output ports are located at different points along the interconnect. Each of the pair of lenses enclosing one of the repeated images is formed as a single physically integral member (3). This member (3) may take the form of a transparent rod having spherical end surfaces. Each of the spherical end surfaces then provides one of the pair of lenses.

Une interconnexion optique est formée à partir d'une série de lentilles alignées coaxialement. Les lentilles sont espacées le long d'un substrat plan (1) et forment des images répétées d'un réseau optique (9) au niveau de l'entrée pour l'interconnexion. Des sorties sont situées à différents endroits le long de l'interconnexion. Chacune des deux lentilles entourant une des images répétées est formée sous forme d'un élément unique (3) physiquement intégré. Cet élément (3) peut se présenter sous forme d'une baguette transparente comportant des surfaces terminales sphériques. Chacune de ces surfaces terminales sphériques constitue alors une des lentilles de la paire.
