Abstract
The role of photonic switching in future telecommunications has been the subject of intense research and discussions ever since the realisation in the early eighties that fiber optics could furnish virtually limitless broadband transmission. The basic idea is that, eventually, one will face an electronic bottle neck when it comes to switching the predicted enormous bitstreams and that photonic switching may then offer a solution.
