Patent ID: 7800639

Claim:
An optical symbol image switch comprising: assembled disks of symbol etched optical fiber, as, an optical fiber symbol image tunnel, the optical fiber having a single core, a pulsed laser light source, means for directing, by refraction-reflection, at least one photon of a laser pulse into the optical fiber symbol image tunnel, whereby, at least one photon of the laser pulse is formed into a symbolic structure, wherein the optical fiber symbol image tunnel length is substantially sufficient to fully form and stabilize the transiting laser pulse symbol image before it exits as an optically corrected laser pulse symbol image, recognizable when received, and, whereby the laser pulse symbol image is a laser light pulse with a wave-front pattern of a symbol, and, an array of optical fiber symbol image tunnels, addressable by the pulse laser, and, a multiplexer, whereby the transited laser pulse symbol images are coordinated into a transited laser pulse symbol image stream.
