Abstract: Future trends of all optical network create new demands for the key enabling component-wavelength selective switch (WSS). The foundation of the future of WSS is liquid crystal on silicon ( LCoS) . Together with advanced algorithms and optics design, WSS is heading towards supporting more spectrum, higher integration and higher port count. Moreover, the low cost variant of WSS in core networks will be convenient for metro edge applications.
