We show that the proposed cross-connect architecture can reduce switch scale significantly compared to conventional one. The function of the newly proposed MUX/DMUX is verified in an experimental system.}, pages = {1--2}, title = {Hierarchical optical cross-connect architecture that implements colorless waveband add/drop ratio restriction utilizing a novel wavelength multi/demultiplexers}, year = {2009} }
