Abstract

All optical WDM networks are considered to be candidates for future wide area backbone networks (WANs). This article surveys current switching technologies in wavelength routed WDM networks. Topics include fundamental principles, fabrication, and performance of optical crossconnects (OXCs). In particular, this paper analyzes the impact of wavelength converters on OXCs. Different OXC architectures based on the utilization of wavelength conversion are compared and examined in terms of permutation and multicast capabilities and network complexity. Also, the multistage construction method and benefits of OXCs are discussed.
