Open publisher page 9 citations

Abstract

We present the architecture of an optical cross-connect (OXC) employing wavelength demultiplexers, optical switches, wavelength converters and wavelength multiplexers. It features expansibility. It has been shown that the proposed OXC can be implemented using commercial devices with lower insertion loss compared to the conventional OXC based on the delivery and coupling switch.
