title = "EGS switching networks based on free-space digital optics",
abstract = "Designers of future switching networks (both packet and circuit switches) will encounter many packaging and interconnection problems as data rates and network sizes continue to increase. Free-space digital optics is a new interconnection technology that may circumvent many of these predicted problems by using beams of light to transmit information between integrated circuits. This paper will describe the technology and outline its advantages. New network architectures (EGS networks) that capitalize on the features of optics have been developed, and they will also be described. Finally, a description of the current generation of prototype systems will be given to illustrate the current state of the art.",
