Retroreflecting elements adapted for use in two-by-two optical routing
elements. Each retroreflecting element is configured to selectively
retroreflect two optical rays. A first reflective surface, such as may be
provided by a mirror, is inclined with respect to a reference plane. A
second reflective surface, such as may also be provided by a mirror, is
opposed to and inclined with respect to the first reflective surface. The
two surfaces are configured for rotation about an axis to multiple
positions such that in a first position, a first ray is retroreflected
along a first path and second ray is reflected along a second path, and
in a second position, the first ray is reflected along the second path
and the second ray is reflected along the first path.
