Abstract:
We demonstrate spatial-channel and wavelength-channel routing, spatial-channel protection, and software-based polarity management of a core selective switch (CSS) in a spatial-channel network testbed. The testbed comprises three spatial cross-connects that are constructed using hermetically sealed compact 19-CF CSS modules and cladding-pumped 19-CF EDFA modules.
