Abstract :
We report on a network experiment using 320times320 lambda-port "Broadcast & Select" optical cross-connects (OXC). 80times10.7 Gb/s NRZ transmission over 4160 km of all-Raman amplified dispersion-managed fiber (52times80 km spans) and 13 concatenated OXCs is demonstrated. The impact of a large number of crosstalk terms is studied
