Abstract
A light beam from an optical fiber held by a waveguide support is guided to an illuminated region of a light-receiving section. A light beam from one light-deflecting device inside this region is reflected by a reflecting surface and passed as a light beam through a second light-deflecting device in another illuminated region to arrive at a second optical fiber. A light beam from the second optical fiber takes the reverse route to the foregoing route. In this way, various light-deflecting devices in one illuminated region are optically coupled to light-deflecting devices in other illuminated regions with substantially equal optical coupling strength. Further for equalizing light-beam intensities and minimizing optical dispersion loss, lenses may be included with the light-deflecting devices.
