Abstract
Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based rearrangeable nonblocking optical cross con nects (OXC's) using multiport optical circulators are proposed in this lett er. The use of multiport optical circulators instead of three-port circulat ors can be more efficient for large optical cross connects systems. Perform ance evaluations of proposed large dimension optical cross connects are inv estigated.
