Abstract:
The present invention relates to an optical network element ( 30, 34 ) comprising a wavelength selective switch, WSS, ( 432, 136 ) with one or more input ports, a working output port ( 38 ) and a separate protecting output port ( 40 ), the WSS ( 432 ) being configurable to a working configuration, in which one or more channels are routed from said one or more input ports to the working output port ( 38 ), and being configurable to a protecting configuration, in which said one or more channels or a subset thereof are routed from said one or more input ports to the protecting output port ( 40 ), or with a working input port ( 42 ) and a protecting input port ( 44 ) and with one or more output ports, the WSS ( 136 ) being configurable to a working configuration, in which one or more channels are routed from the working input ( 42 ) port to the one or more output ports, and being configurable to a protecting configuration, in which one or more channels are routed from the protecting input port ( 44 ) to the one or more output ports, a computer readable medium including program code defining configuration information, a control unit configured to control the WSS ( 432, 136 ) to adopt the working configuration or the protecting configuration based on the predefined configuration information.

Claim (Index 21):
Optical network of  claim 2 , wherein the first WSS and/or the second WSS does not comprise an additional optical splitter and/or does not comprise an additional optical switch.
