I found this excerpt to be interesting. We've discussed MEMS on this thread in the past... Butters said true photonic switching based on MEMS mirrors is not far behind. Lucent's MicroStar is a 4 x 4 array of two-axis micromirrors; eventually the design could be reduced down to each mirror's being fabricated in a single crystal. That would allow multiple petabits to be switched in a space of less than 6 square inches, Butters predicted. "We are reaching the point where silicon and electronic switching will become more expensive than photons," Butters said.
