The design of the optical interconnection network (OIN) system is presented. The network is implemented by the use of only passive optical elements and is based on a shuffle-exchange interconnection pattern. Each passive optical shuffle-exchange stage is designed for cascadability. The OIN switch nodes are capable of broadcast and combine operations in addition to bypass and exchange. The OIN is designed to be controlled by an electronic address computer in a circuit-switched manner. Although the OIN is designed to be used as a subsystem on the shared-memory optical/electronic computer, it may be used as a complete subsystem in other communication or computing architectures.
本文介绍了光互连网络（OIN）系统的设计。该网络仅使用无源光学元件实现，基于混洗交换互连模式。每个无源光学混洗交换阶段都设计为可级联。OIN交换节点除了具有旁路和交换功能外，还能够进行广播和组合操作。OIN设计为由电子地址计算机以电路交换方式进行控制。虽然OIN设计用作共享内存光/电子计算机上的子系统，但它也可以在其他通信或计算架构中用作完整的子系统。
