Abstract
An optical routing device for coupling each of a plurality Nof optical incoming channels () to one of a plurality Nof optical output channels () and for orienting each of the optical beams coming through the incoming channels to any one of the Noptical output channels, includes: an input module including Noptical inputs, for shaping each beam, so as to obtain a plurality of shaped optical beams; an input deflection module for generating for each input a number Pof different positions of angular deflection at least equal to the number Nof optical output channels; a linking module for assembling in bi-unique manner on Pspatial focusing points, respectively the Pangular deflection positions of each; an output deflection module having Pinputs for intercepting Pintermediate optical beams; and an optical output module for shaping each Noutput beam.
