A new design principle of wavelength-and space-division multiplexed photonic crossconnects using tunable light sources and arrayed-waveguide grating wavelength multiplexers is described. In the proposed designthe two most important features are that there is neither splitting lots of the transmitted optical power nor any active optical components for wavelength routingexcept tunable light sources.
