Abstract
This paper presents the results of a crosstalk analysis of four optical wav elength division multiplexed (WDM) cross-connect (OXC) topologies, An optim al set of parameters is determined to reduce the total crosstalk, The scala bility of the topologies is presented in terms of wavelengths and input fib ers, The total crosstalk in function of the number of cascaded OXC's is com pared for the four topologies.
