Abstract
An optical interconnection for connecting a first integrated circuit to a second integrated circuit includes a plurality of light sources, a plurality of light detectors, a symmetric imaging system, and a plurality of beam steering elements, one for each of the plurality of light sources. Each of the beam steering elements is configured to steer light from its corresponding light source to a new angle which causes the symmetric imaging system to have an effective aperture closer to its plane of symmetry. A mirror may be inserted in the plane of symmetry of the imaging system that folds the system back upon itself, making the object plane and image plane co-incident.
