The article talks about switching in a single place, as if by accident. The abstract has no mention of switches at all. Yet, "light-based computers" is something completely dependent on switches, and not much of anything else.
If somebody has access to the actual paper, is there any chance that can lead to switches? Or just multiplexing / demultiplexing?
Update: Thanks fferen. It did demuxing. No work related to switches, except for a "in the future, somebody may use a similar technique to make a switch" on the end (yeah, maybe, using some other dozen techniques not yet discovered, and this one). Demuxing is very important, just that it alone does not lead to practical photonics.
