Holographic optical switches are presented to implement Multistage Type 1 interconnection networks. These switches have unique features of compactness, lightweight and flexibility, which are suitable for system applications. The procedure to implement Multistage Type 1 network with our holographic optical switches has been discussed in detail. After optimum design, the unique features of compactness and flexibility of holographic optical switches efficiently eliminate all interconnection lines between switches. Not only the number of required components are reduced, but also the space of the system is significantly saved.
