    We propose and describe a free-space optical interconnection device with a photorefractive semi-linear resonator. The hologram in the photorefractive crystal is, in general, volatile and the erasing of it coincides with the diffraction of the signal beam. Therefore we have to reform the hologram again after several transmissions of the data or use some fixing techniques such as thermal fixing and electrical fixing. In our interconnection device, the hologram is enhanced by the feedback beam that is a part of the input signal divided by the beam splitter within semi-linear resonator, therefore the sustentation time of the connection can be extended. We explain the sustentation mechanism and investigate the optimum reflectivity of the beam splitters, which determine the feedback rate of the input signal, within feedback circuit for the high output conversion efficiency. We also analyze the coupling strength threshold for sustentation of the connection. We give a basic experiment on 33 interconnection by using BaTiO3 crystal and Ar+ laser whose wavelength is 514 [nm]. We show that the connections are held for long time without the continuous illumination of the control beam.
