Abstract :
Hierarchical optical path architecture consisting of wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) bands and channels are suitable for large-scale WDM backbone networks. A hierarchical optical path crossconnect system (OPXC) using a matrix WDM scheme is proposed as a reliable and economical high-performance node architecture.
