  • Abstract
    Future space-division multiplexed optical networks will require wavelength routing elements that can switch spatial channels in addition to wavelength channels. We describe techniques to build WSSs that can switch multiple spatial modes without requiring additional switching capacity and without introducing mode-dependent losses.
