Abstract
Wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) networks are expected to utilize all-optical cross connects (OXCN) for signal routing. Because a signal path is likely to contain a number of OXCNs, their cascad- ability is essential. Furthermore, because wavelength converters in the OXCNs improve traffic performance and ease network management,1
