Abstract
An optical spatial interconnection network consisting of a 2-D source array, a lens array, and a detector array is suitable for use as the interconnection device in multiprocessor systems and neural networks. This paper describes the theoretical limits on the maximum channel numbers of these networks derived from optical restrictions. These results yield optimum design parameters for an interconnection network.
