Abstract: A high capacity cross-connect in which a 3D switch core includes express paths that facilitate cascading of cross-connect blocks. A light beam propagates from an input waveguide 18 to a first MEMS mirror, which deflects the light beam to either an express optical path or a switching optical path. In the express optical path, the light beam propagates from the first MEMS mirror to a predetermined output waveguide, which is determined by the design of the switch core. In the switching optical path, the light beam propagates from the first MEMS mirror to a second MEMS mirror, which deflects the light beam to a selected one of a set of two or more output waveguides associated with the second MEMS mirror.
