Abstract
Apparatus for mounting and interconnecting optical devices. The apparatus comprises generally rectangular members constructed of optical transparent material formed with recesses having sides positioned at angles with respect to a line perpendicular to a surface of the apparatus. Reflective material is selectively coated on ones of the recess sides such that a parallel coherent light beam emitted by one optical device mounted on the surface of the apparatus is reflected by the light reflective material of one recess side internally through the apparatus to the light reflective material of another recess side whereat it is reflected to optical devices mounted on the apparatus surface.
