Optically Controlled 2×2 Switching Cell for Packet-Switched Networks
All-optical packet-switching eliminates the need for optical-electrical conversion and are ideal for high speed networks of the future. However, owing to the lack of optical random access memory and limited optical signal processing power available, progresses in all-optical packet-switching have been very slow. Recently, by using the multimode injection locking...

Light Trails: A Sub-Wavelength Solution for Optical Networking
All-optical networks are able to transport data from source to destination entirely in the optical domain. This is a departure from current optical networks that rely on Optical-Electrical-Optical OEO conversion at each intermediate connection node to route data properly. The opacity inherent in traditional networks is costly in terms of...
