Abstract

All-optical nonblocking routing of 80 10 Gb/s C-band channels is demonstrated with a 100/spl times/100 optical crossconnect. The enabling technology is a channel equalizing low-power wavelength converter operating with -14 dBm input power such that no single channel amplification is needed.
