Abstract

Summary form only given. Wavelength add-drop multiplexers and cross-connects are being constructed in Lucent Technologies for the Multiwavelength Optical Networking (MONET) program Washington D.C. network. Architecture functional entities of a wavelength selective cross-connect include multiwavelength and single wavelength interfaces, switch fabric, optical signal monitoring, optical interconnects, and network control and management interface. The purpose of this paper is to review the wavelength selective cross-connect systems from architecture and design considerations
