Abstract
Free-space optical communication imposes unique challenges for optical networks including size/weight/power limitations, long propagation latency, and pointing- or atmospheric-induced fades. In this talk, we will discuss free-space networks and >100-Gb/s line-rate time-domain packet-routers enabled by ultrafast all-optical logic gates and switches
