Packet switching or optical switching?
IEEE Internet Computing, 2000One of history's main benefits is that it lets us detect trends that help predict the future. Over the past 30 years since the Internet started (1970-2000), many clear trends have emerged. The article very briefly examines the most critical of these trends, the one that led to the creation of the Internet: the packet switching cost trend.

Optical Switching Technologies and Switching in Optical Future Networks
2006 International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks, 2006Compared with the large range of optical switching technologies that have been the subject of research, very few have been deployed on a significant scale in telecommunications networks. From an industrial and commercial viewpoint, this paper describes the current status of the more successful ones and relates them to their network applications and to ...

Integrated Optical Acousto-Optic Switching
SPIE Proceedings, 1985Acousto-optic interactions are well known and widely used since long. The main applications for bulk optic devices are Bragg-cells for beam deflection and frequency shifting. Acousto-optic interactions using integrated otpical (I0) waveguides and surface acoustic waves (SAW) are very promising because of expected high efficiency.

Ultrafast All-Optical Switching in Optical Fibers
1990Optical fibers have potential for generating and transmitting information at repetition rates of the order of a few THz1, that is much above the capacity of signal processors based on electronic technology. This means that a substantial improvement in the speed of a communication or computing system can be achieved if basic logic operations and signal ...
