Title :
Role of optics and electronics in creating future broadband networks
Author_Institution :

Abstract :
To create future bandwidth abundant and cost-effective networks, we need to not only optimize photonic technologies but also strengthen their coordination with electrical technologies. The presentation first identifies the requirements of future networks and elucidates the best combination of electrical and optical technologies that will cost-effectively satisfy the requirements. The importance of coarse granular optical routing will also be highlighted.
