The invention relates to a high speed fiber optic packet switching device. A data stream is divided into standardized packets sent through the fiber optic network, where specific packet switches or routers sort and direct each single packet to its destination. Packets are generated in groups of slightly different phases and are sent to the switching device, whereby each packet in a group enters the input of the switch at the same time, and are made to constructively interfere with each other in the area of the output fiber through which the packet is intended to be routed. This allows the packet to instantly enter and travel along the new output fiber path towards its destination. In all other areas on the output side of the optical switch, packets destructively interfere with each other so that no packet enters any other output.
