Abstract
A fully reconfigurable 2/spl times/2 optical cross-connect using tunable wavelength switching module is presented. A modular tunable wavelength switching module is proposed and used to construct 2/spl times/2 fully reconfigurable optical crossconnects. Large size optical switch use is avoided in the OXC and it is easy to upgrade to more wavelength channels.
