All-Optical Computing and All-Optical Networks are Dead
Anxiously awaiting the arrival of all-optical computing? Don't hold your breath. All those well-intentioned stories about computers operating at the speed of light, computers that would free us from Internet delays and relieve us from the tyranny of slow and hot electronic devices were, alas, overoptimistic. We won't be computing or routing at the speed of light anytime soon.
