Abstract

Guidelines of the modeling of an all-optical architecture is presented. This basic architecture is universal and flexible. It can be used as the switching building block for a number of interconnection networks. The power analysis of an all optical buffering architecture [1] that can be interfaced with such an element is discussed. The modeling analysis is given in terms of the switch model, the multistage model and the power analysis of the optical buffer. The architecture uses bistable optical devices such as Fabry-Perot etalons, SEED and S-SEED. A number of important issues remain to be addressed, such as the use of different nonlinear optical devices, synchronization, and simulation.
