Abstract
We propose a novel large-scale OXC architecture that utilizes WSSs for dynamic wavelength grouping and 1xn switches for fiber selection. Our network design algorithm shows that the architecture attains significant hardware scale reduction. A prototype demonstrates good transmission performance and confirms the architecture’s technical feasibility.
