Abstract

A waveband cross-connect architecture is proposed, utilizing small-scale waveband selective switches to make the best use of present optical switch technologies and exploit optical waveband switching for creating cost-effective large capacity optical path networks. An appropriate network design algorithm is then developed for the waveband routing optical networks employing the waveband cross-connect architecture. Numerical experiments prove that applying the small-scale waveband selective switch-based node architecture offers a significant switch scale reduction. The effect of the waveband capacity selection on the overall switch scale reduction was also investigated.
