Abstract
In this paper, we present a hybrid-hierarchical optical cross-connect (hybrid-HOXC) architecture that employs a waveband cross-connect for adding/dropping or routing waveband paths and an electrical cross-connect to grooming wavelength paths. Then, we have proposed a heuristic design algorithm for the hybrid-HOXCs based optical path networks. Its effectiveness is evaluated through numerical experiments with different traffic loads and network parameters.
