Physical Architectures for Packet-Switching Network Nodes Based on Nonlinear Logic Gates
Overview Two new architectures are proposed for designing physical network nodes in packet-switched structure structures. They allow transparent optical packet networking and are based on the association of various subsystems, which have previously been proposed, and demonstrated. These elements are mainly based on the application of non nonlinear linear behavior in semiconductor optical amplifiers.
