Abstract
A system for coupling at least one optical beam includes at least one optical beam entry port, an optical beam exit port, the optical beam exit port including a lens performing a Fourier Transform, at least one optical beam deflector, and an optical base element, wherein the at least one directly fixed optical beam deflector is allowed to rotate around a rotation axis, wherein the corresponding at least one optical beam and/or its assigned optical beam entry port is configured such that the semi-major axis of the elliptical cross section of the optical beam on a deflection surface of a respective optical beam deflector is oriented parallel to the rotation axis, and wherein, after having passed the optical beam exit port, the elliptical cross section of the at least one optical beam overlaps the circular cross section of the light receiver.
