Title: Optical networking within the Lightwave Energy-Efficient Datacenter project [Invited]

The Lightwave Energy-Efficient Datacenter (LEED) project within the ARPA-e ENLITENED program is developing novel energy-efficient multichannel lightwave networks. These networks are enabled by a new optical “rotor” switch that can reconfigure the network topology in less than 20 µs and a field-programmable-gate-array-based network interface controller called Corundum that can provide precise network-wide synchronization of packets admitted into the lightwave network. Here we review the optical networking research within LEED and discuss future directions.
