Abstract :
Two new architectures are proposed for designing physical network nodes in packet-switched 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 nonlinear behavior in semiconductor optical amplifiers.
