ABSTRACT:
A multi-dimensional optical cross-connect switching system. The system is capable of multi-dimensionally using wavelength resources, such as in the forms of optical fibers, optical wavelength bands and optical wavelengths. The system can three-dimensionally use the wavelength resources by being matched with an optical transport network through the optical fiber layer, optical wavelength band layer and optical wavelength layer. In addition, the multi-dimentional optical cross-connect switching system is constructed in such a way that two cross-connect switches are symmetrically arranged and an insertion/extraction switch is added to switch addition/dropping links between the two switches.
