Keywords:Wavelength switching and routing technologies, SDM technologies for photonic switching and networking, Optical cross-connects and reconfigurable optical add-drop mux/demux

We propose a joint-switching architecture utilizing waveguide-based multicast switches in a colorless, directionless and contentionless ROADM node for multi-core fiber networks cost-effectively.
