Elementary blocks, performing logic operations, are the building elements for more complex subsystems implementing all-optical digital processing. They can potentially enable next generation optical networks and optical computing, overcoming the limitations of the electronics bandwidth, also guaranteeing scalability, transparency, easy reconfigurability and modularity. Finally, integrated technologies can reduce power consumption, footprint and cost.
