FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: device has a substrate with matrix optical transmitters and optical receivers and a divider housing to which an optical bus is connected, where the divider housing has a set of a closely packed plates with lines of light guides. On one side of each plate there is a line of light guides of optical receivers, and on the other side - a line of light guides of optical transmitters. The lines of light guides run along the plate such that lines of light guides of optical receivers begin from the point of connection with the optical bus, gradually bend and end at the matrix of optical receivers, and the lines of light guides of optical transmitters start at the point of connection with the optical bus, bend gradually and end at the matrix of optical transmitters.
EFFECT: high efficiency of using resources of smart-links by providing two-way transmission of information over one optical bus.
