Optical communication system communicates between an array of originating tiles and an array of terminating tiles. Each array is associated with a lenslet array, such as a two-layer array. Each originating tile has an array and each terminating tile has an array of transceivers. Each tile is associated with a common lenslet or lenslet pair. A beamlet from a representative originating transceiver passes through the lenslet pair adjacent to its tile via an originating Fourier transform element, collimating optics, and a terminating Fourier transform element. The beam then passes through the lenslet pair adjacent to the tile containing the terminating transceiver associated with the representative originating transceiver, and is focused onto that receiver by that lenslet pair. Originating and/or terminating arrays of multicore fibers may be used between the originating transceivers and the originating Fourier transform element and/or between the terminating Fourier transform element and the terminating transceivers.
