For the proposal, we introduce a node architecture and a network design algorithm. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed architecture’s performance approaches that of single-layer optical path networks while substantially reducing hardware scale.}, pages = {774--783}, title = {Coarse Granular Optical Routing Networks Utilizing Fine Granular Add/Drop}, volume = {5}, year = {2013} }
