Abstract

Despite the recent success of fiber optics, it has so far been used primarily as a low loss, high bandwidth replacement to electrical cable in point to point transmission links. In these systems, optical signals are usually converted to the electrical domain at intermediate nodes in order to perform switching. For example, in the Internet, electronic switches are used to route packets to their destinations. However, in this approach, the maximum serial line rate will always be limited by the bandwidth of electronics, which is considerably less than the tens of Terahertz bandwidth available in optical fiber. In effect, a bottleneck is created in the system.
