The first answer that came to my mind was Raman amplification. It is
powered by a beam of light and the fiber itself is the amplifier.

Of course, there are no Raman Routers.

Schroedinger Routers .. now that's what I want to see. Deflection routing
taken to its logical conclusion. But you can never tell if it worked or not.

$ dump bgp .. just by the act of seeing routes will have changed them.
