Overview of the key technology of photonic firewall at high speed by Shanguo HUANG, Xin LI, Ying TANG, Junfeng GUO

“…In order to maintain the security of optical network,it is urgent to research and deploy photonic firewall which can effectively process high-speed optical signals to replace existing electronic firewall which consumes high energy.After a brief review of the principle of photonic firewall,the pattern matching technology based on correlation operation and all-optical logic gates were summarized,and the matching systems was compared according to their advantages and disadvantages.Besides,the realization methods of all-optical logic gates were introduced.Finally,the next research direction and development trend of all-optical pattern matching were prospected:more efficient system structure or non-linear devices with faster response speed.The survey shows that photonic firewall based on all-optical pattern matching has a good application prospect in network security.…”
