Wavelength Selective Switches for SDM Photonic Nodes Based on SPOC Platform

We overview wavelength selective switches (WSSs) for space-division multiplexing (SDM) nodes. The space and planar optical circuit (SPOC) platform is suitable for integration of multiple WSSs into a single module, which is suitable for SDM systems.
