in future high-speed self-routing photonic networks based on all-optical time division multiplexing (otdm) it is highly desirable to carry out packet switching, clock recovery and demultplexing in the optical domain in order to avoid the bottleneck due to the optoelectronics conversion. in this paper we propose a self-routing otdm node structure composed of an all-optical router and demultiplex...

we give a new proof of the well known wedderburn's little theorem (1905) that a finite‎ ‎division ring is commutative‎. ‎we apply the concept of frobenius kernel in frobenius representation theorem in finite group‎ ‎theory to build a proof‎.
