  • Abstract
    The concatenation performance of an optical cross-connect node performing reconfigurable wavelength routing utilising an arrayed waveguide grating and all-optical tuneable wavelength converters is presented. Error-free transmission after concatenation of 30 such nodes is demonstrated
