Slack, an optical switch uses mirrors to bend the light. A router works like a postman, sorting my address. There is no known way that you can sort a light source, so optical will remain in the switch area, and revert to electrical/magetic for routing. This is one reason I am not worried about my Cisco stock.

Thanks for all of the responses....I think that I am going to have to do some reading. However if I understand you correctly, the various gains in optical networking will ultimately just increase the need for Cisco's (and maybe Juniper's) routers. Sounds good to me....

I dont have any Cisco (yes, I am an idiot) but have some in some family member's accounts.....
