Methods and apparatus for selectively coupling optical paths
An optical cross connect includes first and second planar layers having m and n optical path(s), respectively. An optical switch array comprising a plurality of optical switches is disposed to enable optically coupling any optical path of the first planar layer with any optical path of the second pl...

| Zusammenfassung: | An optical cross connect includes first and second planar layers having m and n optical path(s), respectively. An optical switch array comprising a plurality of optical switches is disposed to enable optically coupling any optical path of the first planar layer with any optical path of the second planar layer. Techniques for creating a variety of optical path types are provided. |
