Abstract
In this paper a prototype of an optical multi-faceted Free-Space Image Distributor for optical interconnection in massively parallel processing is presented. The consecutive aspects of the design of a free space oriented image distributor are considered. Features of free space image distributing techniques are studied and solutions are proposed that favour the development, prototyping and testing of a free space oriented 9-faceted image distributing system (the Kaleidoscope) for massively parallel processing. Optically modelling the kaleidoscopic system and simulating the optical backplane are carried out. Multiple complementary alternatives in designing a multi-faceted (N>9) kaleidoscopic system are analysed.
