Appl. No.:

10/122669

Inventors:

Eric F. Hermann - Ocean Ridge FL 33435

International Classification:

Abstract:

A modular optical router/switch construction system and method are described. In one aspect of the present invention, the modules provided are basic 1ÃN optical components and/or pass-through 1ÃN optical components, both of which have input/output (I/O) ports which are capable of detachably interconnecting. Pass-through 1ÃN optical components are like the basic 1ÃN optical components but include extra ports so that input light may âpass throughâ the component. In another aspect of the present invention, a bi-directional optical component capable of modular construction is provided. The bi-directional optical component has the same I/O ports as the basic 1ÃN optical component, but the bi-directional I/O ports are built to engage a duplex optical link (i. e. , a link comprised of two optical fibers with signals going in two opposite directions).
