Spatial Channel Network (SCN): Introducing Spatial Bypass toward the SDM Era

We review the spatial-channel network technology toward the spatial-division-multiplexing era from the viewpoints of network and node architectures, physical performance, network-resource utilization efficiency, and novel optical switches for modular and low-loss spatial cross-connects.
