Abstract: There are analyzed potential parameters of the planar AO modulators for space-and- wavelength photonic switching. We consider different schemes of superfast AO switching with capability up to 10$+15$/ switch/sec within one multichannel guided wave device. On the basis of the experimentally achieved parameters of the planar Ti:LiNbO$-3$/ AO modulators we discuss a few prospective applications in high speed digital multipliers, commutators for optoelectronic super computers and associative memory systems.!9
