A Scalable Multicast Hybrid Broadband Crossbar Wavelength Selective Switch For Datacenters

We present a new switching architecture that is wavelength selective and can multicast. We compare the switch loss, number of elements and crosstalk with multi-wavelength selective crossbar switch. We report reduction in number of elements of 50%, reduced loss and a similar crosstalk as compared with multi-wavelength selective crossbar switch.
