Abstract :
Summary form only given. In future high-capacity WDM networks the routing of optical signals will be performed in optical crossconnects (OXCs). Here the 10-Gbit/s performance of a 30 times fed back arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) (de)multiplexer and of 15 times fed back wavelength-selective cross-connect paths containing these AWGs were measured.
