Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The invention relates to switches enabling -the connection by an optical method of at least one of the circuits of a set of input circuits to at least one circuit of a set of output circuits. It consists in illuminating a photosensitive medium with parallel input beams coming from a set of input circuits. The input beams are then diffracted on strata inscribed on the medium to reach one of the circuits of a set of photoreceptor circuits. The strata are inscribed by interference of two inscribing beams of which the wavelength differs from that of the input beams; the wavelength of these input beams not lying within the range of spectral sensitivity of the photosensitive medium.
