ALL OPTICAL NETWORKS
Fiber optics will become more efficient as light waves replace electrons for processing signals in communications networks.
Contemporary fiber-optic networks transmit voice, video and data at speeds 10 to 100 times faster than the standard copper wiring that has been used in telecommunications for over a century. They have, nonetheless, realized only a small fraction of the promise of the technology.
To fulfill its potential, fiber optics must do more than simply replace copper telephone wiring with thin, cylindrical conduits of glass that guide light. Optical transmission must in fact go beyond the limitations imposed by the electronics technology that preceded it.
In contemporary fiber-optic networks, each time a light pulse is amplified, switched, inserted into or removed from the network, it must be changed into a stream of electrons for processing. This optoelectronic conversion can become an impediment in very high speed communications. A network must be saddled with more expensive and complex electronics, and it becomes more difficult to process the smaller pulses of light needed to transmit tens of gigabits (a gigabit is a billion bits) of digital information in a second’s time. Above a certain transmission speed –about 50 gigabits per second- electronic equipment will find it hard to handle this constant back-and-forth transformation between electrons and light waves.
It would be simpler, faster and more economical to transfer an optical signal from one end of a network to the other by using the properties of the light wave itself to route the transmission along different pathways through the network.

REDES COMPLETAMENTE ÓPTICAS
La fibra óptica aumenta su eficacia a medida que las ondas luminosas sustituyen a las electrónicas en el proceso de señales en las redes de comunicaciones.
Las redes de fibra óptica actuales transmiten sonido, imágenes y datos a una velocidad de 10 a 100 veces mayor que los cables de cobre estándar empleados desde hace más de un siglo. No obstante, aún no se ha hecho realidad sino una pequeña fracción de lo que esta tecnología promete.
Para desarrollar todo el potencial de la fibra óptica se impone ir más allá de la simple sustitución del cable telefónico de cobre por finas conducciones cilíndricas de vidrio que guían la luz. De hecho, la transmisión óptica debe superar las limitaciones impuestas por la tecnología electrónica que la ha precedido.
Tal como funcionan hoy día las redes de fibra óptica, cada vez que un impulso lumínico se amplifica, se conmuta y se inserta o extrae de la red, debe ser convertido en un flujo de electrones para poder ser procesado. Esta transformación de señal óptica a eléctrica y viceversa puede convertirse en un cuello de botella para comunicaciones de alta velocidad, ya que hay que dotar a las redes de componentes electrónicos más caros y sofisticados, y resulta mucho más difícil procesar los pequeños impulsos de luz necesarios para transmitir decenas de gigabits (un gigabit equivale a mil millones de bits, 109 bits) de información digital por segundo. Por encima de cierta velocidad de transmisión, alrededor de 50 gigabits por segundo, a los equipos electrónicos les va a costar realizar las continuas transformaciones entre señal eléctrica y señal óptica y viceversa.
Sería más sencillo, rápido y económico usar las propiedades de la propia onda luminosa para dirigir la transmisión de una señal óptica de una punta a otra de una red por las diferentes rutas que la componen.
