Photonic cross-connect switches have many advantageous features that should enable their use in optical fiber communications systems. One such primary feature is their transparency to bit rate, coding protocol, and wavelength. However, where the cost and size requirements of optical amplification may be a serious consideration, intrinsic insertion loss may limit the usefulness of some photonic switch approaches, especially for large port counts.
