Keywords:
Optical cross-connects/add-drop multiplexers subsystems,2D and 3D MEMS/LCOS switches
We discuss opportunities and challenges facing the introduction of spatial channel networks (SCNs) toward the forthcoming spatial-division multiplexing era. We present spatial-channel crossconnect architectures and assess them from growability, reliability, and techno-economic standpoints.
