1. A method of providing real time optical channels and components for interconnecting optical fibers coupled to a transducer, comprising the steps of:

  • coupling the optical fibers to the transducer to provide an air free connection between the optical fibers and the transducer;

    generating the light beam;

    directing the light beam toward the transducer;

    controlling the transmission of the light beam to expose a predetermined portion of the transducer in accordance with a perdetermined pattern;

    optically interconnecting the optical fibers in accordance with the predetermined pattern upon exposure of the transducer to the light beam; and

    subsequently erasing the optical interconnection between the optical fibers.
