Abstract :
The cascaded filtering effect in multi-granularity optical cross-connect (OXC) nodes is studied. We perform simulation and conduct 40 Gb/s transmission experiment on waveband deaggregator-based hierarchical OXC node. The results show that wavebands experience less cascading effect than individual wavelengths
