Abstract
The speed of future photonic switches will be limited by the device switching speed and by the processing speed of the routing controller. A data flow bottleneck will occur at the controller if routing decisions are executed electronically. This bottleneck can be eliminated if optical processing is used.’ If, in conjunction, self-routing is used, the propagation delay of data through a photonic switching network can be substantially reduced.
