Abstract:
In some embodiments, a system includes a super-channel multiplexer (SCM) and an optical cross connect (OXC) switch. The SCM is configured to multiplex a set of optical signals into a super-channel optical signal with a wavelength band. The OXC switch is configured to be operatively coupled to the SCM and a reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) degree. The OXC switch is configured to be located between the SCM and the ROADM degree and the OXC switch, the SCM, and the ROADM degree are configured to be included in a colorless, directionless, and contentionless (CDC) optical network. The OXC switch is configured to switch, based on the wavelength band, the super-channel optical signal to an output port from a set of output ports of the OXC switch. The OXC switch is configured to transmit the super-channel optical signal from the output port to the ROADM degree.

Claim (Index 5):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein:\n the first ROADM degree is included in a ROADM node having (1) at least four ROADM degrees and (2) at least twenty ports, the first OXC switch includes at least thirty-two input ports and at least thirty-two output ports causing a 50% add or drop for each ROADM degree from the at least four ROADM degrees.
