Abstract
Disclosed are reconfigurable optical interconnections for opto-electronic processors in general, and for scalable computer architectures and scalable network servers in particular. The optical-signal interconnects are adaptable, or reconfigurable, during the normal operation of the processor. A large number of optical-signal interconnects may be provided among the components of the processor while using a small number of light transmitters and/or light receivers.
