Summary form only given. It has been demonstrated that large-scale transparent optical switches can be built using micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology. An added advantage of transparent switches is that the switching function is independent of data rate and data format. In this paper, we discuss a three-dimensional MEMS optical crossconnect (OXC) switch fabric, with a focus on the optical performance.
