Abstract :
Progresses of 5-year-long government-supported R&D program launched in 2007, aiming at all-optical RAM buffer will be presented. Focuses are on nano-structured optical bit memory for RAM, the optical interfaces such as serial/parallel converter and optical addressor as well as architecture design of optical packet switch with small-size buffers and the performance evaluation.
