Ultra-fast Photonic Packet Switching with Optically Processed Control

Abstract

In ultra-high speed networks individual address bits are spaced only picoseconds apart, and address recognition can be made by an ultra-fast demultiplexer which allows the packet to be routed without any opto-electronic conversion. One low-power device capable of performing the critical operation of reading address bits in an optically compressed packet header is the Terahertz Optical Asymmetric Demultiplexer (TOAD)1.
